Documentation: broken URL in libata.tmpl

2012-02-28T14:59:47+00:00

The text for version 1.1 of the Open Sofware license doesn't seem
to be available anywhere on http://www.opensource.org/ any more.
Replace it with an URL on fedora.org.

Thanks to Randy Dunlap for his advise choosing the most
appropriate replacement URL.

libata: introduce sff_set_devctl() method

2010-05-14T21:35:52+00:00

The set of libata's taskfile access methods is clearly incomplete as
it lacks a method to write to the device control register -- which
forces drivers like 'pata_bf54x' and 'pata_scc' to implement more
"high level" (and more weighty) methods like freeze() and postreset().

So, introduce the optional sff_set_devctl() method which the drivers
only have to implement if the standard iowrite8() can't be used (just
like the existing sff_check_altstatus() method) and make use of it
in the freeze() and postreset() method implementations (I could also
have used it in softreset() method but it also reads other taskfile
registers without using tf_read() making that quite pointless);
this makes freeze() method implementations in the 'pata_bf54x' and
'pata_scc' methods virtually identical to ata_sff_freeze(), so we
can get rid of them completely.

libata: Fix several inaccuracies in developer's guide

2010-05-05T18:48:27+00:00

Commit 6bfff31e77cfa1b13490337e5a4dbaa3407e83ac (libata: kill probe_ent
and related helpers) killed ata_device_add() but didn't remove references
to it from the libata developer's guide.

Commits 9363c3825ea9ad76561eb48a395349dd29211ed6 (libata: rename SFF
functions) and 5682ed33aae05d10a25c95633ef9d9c062825888 (libata: rename
SFF port ops) renamed the taskfile access methods but didn't update the
developer's guide.  Commit c9f75b04ed5ed65a058d18a8a8dda50632a96de8
(libata: kill ata_noop_dev_select()) didn't update the developer's
guide as well.

The guide also refers to the long gone ata_pio_data_xfer_noirq(),
ata_pio_data_xfer(), and ata_mmio_data_xfer() -- replace those by
the modern ata_sff_data_xfer_noirq(), ata_sff_data_xfer(), and
ata_sff_data_xfer32().

Also, remove the reference to non-existant ata_port_stop()...

[SCSI] libsas: fix scr_read/write users and update the libata documentation

2007-07-20T20:52:08+00:00

This fixes up the usage in libsas (which are easy to miss, since they're
only in the scsi-misc tree) ... and also corrects the documentation on
the point of what these two function pointers actually return.
