From ade2daf9c6e57845fe83a24e0a9fa1c03c6e91b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2008 20:13:07 +0100 Subject: ide: make remaining built-in only IDE host drivers modular (take 2) * Make remaining built-in only IDE host drivers modular, add ide-scan-pci.c file for probing PCI host drivers registered with IDE core (special case for built-in IDE and CONFIG_IDEPCI_PCIBUS_ORDER=y) and then take care of the ordering in which all IDE host drivers are probed when IDE is built-in during link time. * Move probing of gayle, falconide, macide, q40ide and buddha (m68k arch specific) host drivers, before PCI ones (no PCI on m68k), ide-cris (cris arch specific), cmd640 (x86 arch specific) and pmac (ppc arch specific). * Move probing of ide-cris (cris arch specific) host driver before cmd640 (x86 arch specific). * Move probing of mpc8xx (ppc specific) host driver before ide-pnp (depends on ISA and none of ppc platform that use mpc8xx supports ISA) and ide-h8300 (h8300 arch specific). * Add "probe_vlb" kernel parameter to cmd640 host driver and update Documentation/ide.txt accordingly. * Make IDE_ARM config option visible so it can also be disabled if needed. * Remove bogus comment from ide.c while at it. v2: * Fix two issues spotted by Sergei: - replace ENOMEM error value by ENOENT in ide-h8300 host driver - fix MODULE_PARM_DESC() in cmd640 host driver Cc: Sergei Shtylyov Cc: Mikael Starvik Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven Cc: Roman Zippel Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz --- Documentation/ide.txt | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'Documentation') diff --git a/Documentation/ide.txt b/Documentation/ide.txt index 1d50f23a5ca..b29ccb43d6c 100644 --- a/Documentation/ide.txt +++ b/Documentation/ide.txt @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ *** *** The CMD640 is also used on some Vesa Local Bus (VLB) cards, and is *NOT* *** automatically detected by Linux.
