Dear Mike Frysinger,
In message 200812111556.23044.vapier@gentoo.org you wrote:
Also, in the code you removed we do a runtime check on 8536 to see if SATA is even available. That check is still valid.
why ? if the hardware doesnt support it, then the user shouldnt be attempting to use it. if they do, that's their fault for doing something stupid.
And if they do, the code should fail gracefully, i. e. print some friendly error message like that S-ATA is not available.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
