Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Revert "ide: try to use PIO Mode 0 during probe if possible""

This reverts commit 24df31acaff8465d797f0006437b45ad0f2a5cb1.

The root cause of reported system hangs was (now fixed) sis5513 bug
and not "ide: try to use PIO Mode 0 during probe if possible" change
(commit 6029336426a2b43e4bc6f4a84be8789a047d139e) so the revert was
incorrect (it simply replaced one regression with the other one).

What is this older "regression" fixed by the PIO-0 change?

You're not explaining it and neither does the commit message for the
PIO-0 change.

Please, fill us in :-)

It does:

| Subject: [PATCH] sis5513: fix PIO setup for ATAPI devices
| 
| Clear prefetch setting before potentially (re-)enabling it in
| config_drive_art_rwp() so the transition of the device type on
| the port from ATA to ATAPI (i.e. during warm-plug operation)
| is handled correctly.

and the empty port defaults to ATA-like behavior for the initial PIO setup.

Just connect the dots.. :)

Sorry, I wasn't clear.

I'm talking about commit 6029336426a2b43e4bc6f4a84be8789a047d139e, it
doesn't say why we want to try PIO 0 mode during probe.

What was the regression fixed by that change?

For the same reason that libata wants it.

Many embedded controllers/platforms will have junk PIO timings set initially.

Now that your manager's ambition is satisfied could you please go help
some other subsystem for the moment so we can fix ide in the meantime? :)

Thanks, that helps a lot.

When David reports back on testing I'll push this stuff around
and queue up patch #1 for -stable.
