2007-10-19ide: set drive->autotune in ide_pci_setup_ports()Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
Majority of host drivers using IDE PCI layer set drive->autotune, the only exceptions are: generic.c ns87415.c rz1000.c trm290.c * no ->set_pio_mode method it821x.c: * if memory allocation fails drive->autotune won't be set (but there also won't be ->set_pio_mode method in such case) piix.c: * MPIIX controller (no ->init_hwif method so also no ->set_pio_mode method) However if there is no ->set_pio_mode method there are no changes in behavior w.r.t. PIO tuning so always set drive->autotune in ide_pci_setup_ports(). Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
