certain variants of the NCR chip from FE_CACHE_SET: FE_CLSE (enable
cache-line size register) and FE_ERMP (enable read-multiple). They
will be re-enabled, if a fix for the underlying problem (a restriction
in the memory to memory move logic of some chips) has been implemented.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Tekram DC390W/U/F, whose config EEPROM can now be dumped, if the kernel
is built with option NCR_TEKRAM_EEPROM.
Other changes:
- add brackets to expansion of OUTB/W/L macro arguments.
- remove unused NCB structure element ns_async
- support sync. SCSI offset of 16 (instead of only 8) on 825A and 875
- correctly identify 53c810A and 53c825A chips
- preserve SCSI BIOS settings of PCI performance options
- remove (already disabled) support for NCR reset because of command timeout
- reverse order of reading of SCSI and DMA specific interrupt cause registers
- add definition of Tekram config EEPROM contents (not currently used)
Still no support for Ultra-SCSI and other new features, but the code
should now correctly initialize the clock pre-scaler (based on freqency
measurement results, if necessary).
Fix support of 16 targets for WIDE SCSI.
Disable bus reset in case no progress is made for too long ("ncr dead"
message), which did not work too well with scanners and other slow devices.
