From df33c77e3981e71afc8727ee5c432ba1a1bba68c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kristen Accardi Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 18:15:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] libata-acpi: allow _GTF on SATA, but disable on PATA for now The ACPI specification states, and BIOS implementations depend on, _STM being called before _GTF. SATA does this, but PATA does not. So for now, simply prevent execution of _GTF on PATA devices. Longer term we should implement ACPI support for PATA devices in libata.
