    [PATCH] ide: backport piix fixes from libata into the legacy driver · 5ac24697
    Alan Cox authored
    
    
    There are three flags being set by default by the PIIX driver for speeds >
    PIO 1, and one not being cleared properly on fallback to PIO0.  The most
    important one is the prefetch/post write control which only works for ATA
    and can do bad things with ATAPI.
    
    The patch does its best to set the flags correctly for drivers/ide.  Its
    not 100% perfect but its closer than the original.  100% perfect requires
    proper IORDY handling but this isn't critical (and its not right in libata
    either ..  yet)

        BTW, there's quite obvious error here which leads to access outside of
    timings[] if somebody passes PIO mode 5 (or autotuning code finds out that
    drive supports PIO mode 5). Could have been fixed while at it... Those drives
    should be rare, though...

        Actually, there's one more serious issue with piix_tune_drive() -- it
    doesn't actually set the drive's own transfer mode.
