was that accessing the status reg could occour too fast, confusing
the logic in the flash part. Could not have been located without:

provide no methods does not make any sense, and is not used by any
driver.
It is a pretty hard to come up with even a theoretical concept of
a device driver which would always fail open and close with ENODEV.
Change the defaults to be nullopen() and nullclose() which simply
does nothing.
Remove explicit initializations to these from the drivers which
already used them.
Fix to the messages output under CAM_DEBUG_CCB: the summary sense
information (error bits and sense key) is in the error field, not
in the result field, of struct ata_request. No other functional change.
This commit puts the relevant code snippets under #ifdef GONE_IN_5
(rather than #ifndef BURN_BRIDGES) thereby disabling the code now.
The code wil be entirely removed before 5.2 unless we find reasons
why this would be a bad idea.
Approach suggested by: imp
For the floppy driver, use fdcontrol to manipulate density selection.
For the CD drivers, the 'a' and 'c' suffix is without actual effect and
any applications insisting on it can be satisfied with a symlink:
ln -s /dev/cd0 /dev/cd0a
Ongoing discussion may result in these pieces of code being removed before
the 5-stable branch as opposed to after.
This will get rid of the warnings issued at shutdown (that seems to
worry alot of users), but will also no flush cache on lots of
devices that can, but doesn't set the right support bits...
Restructure the way ATA/ATAPI commands are processed, use a common
ata_request structure for both. This centralises the way requests
are handled so locking is much easier to handle.
The driver is now layered much more cleanly to seperate the lowlevel
HW access so it can be tailored to specific controllers without touching
the upper layers. This is needed to support some of the newer
semi-intelligent ATA controllers showing up.
The top level drivers (disk, ATAPI devices) are more or less still
the same with just corrections to use the new interface.
Pull ATA out from under Gaint now that locking can be done in a sane way.
Add support for a the National Geode SC1100. Thanks to Soekris engineering
for sponsoring a Soekris 4801 to make this support.
Fixed alot of small bugs in the chipset code for various chips now
we are around in that corner anyways.
