[Linux-parport] Read Device ID of a parallel device

[Nagesh A]

Hi Tim,
Thank you for your reply.

Yes our driver is taking care.  Driver supports two ERV values:
1. nibble (0x00) and 2. device ID with nibble mode (0x04).

Actually, the negotiation is passed for the nibble mode (0x00) and is
performing rev.
data transfer successfully.

But, for device ID request, it is not the case, though the code execution
path is same
for both of them.

I could get the printk of ERV value - 0x04. and doing the following events:

1. set event 5 (Set XFlag, nDataAvail, PError low)
2. set event 6 (Set nAck high)
3. Wait for event 7 (HostBusy go low)
4. Data transfer phase

Above is the same sequence of execution even for the nibble mode data
transfer.
Nibble mode data transfer is working fine.

regards,
