40 | * Documentation | ||
41 | * Publically available from Intel web site. Errata documentation | ||
42 | * is also publically available. As an aide to anyone hacking on this | ||
43 | * driver the list of errata that are relevant is below.going back to | ||
44 | * PIIX4. Older device documentation is now a bit tricky to find. | ||
45 | * | ||
46 | * The chipsets all follow very much the same design. The orginal Triton | ||
47 | * series chipsets do _not_ support independant device timings, but this | ||
48 | * is fixed in Triton II. With the odd mobile exception the chips then | ||
49 | * change little except in gaining more modes until SATA arrives. This | ||
50 | * driver supports only the chips with independant timing (that is those | ||
51 | * with SITRE and the 0x44 timing register). See pata_oldpiix and pata_mpiix | ||
52 | * for the early chip drivers. | ||
53 | * | ||
54 | * Errata of note: | ||
55 | * | ||
56 | * Unfixable | ||
57 | * PIIX4 errata #9 - Only on ultra obscure hw | ||
58 | * ICH3 errata #13 - Not observed to affect real hw | ||
59 | * by Intel | ||
60 | * | ||
61 | * Things we must deal with | ||
62 | * PIIX4 errata #10 - BM IDE hang with non UDMA | ||
63 | * (must stop/start dma to recover) | ||
64 | * 440MX errata #15 - As PIIX4 errata #10 | ||
65 | * PIIX4 errata #15 - Must not read control registers | ||
66 | * during a PIO transfer | ||
67 | * 440MX errata #13 - As PIIX4 errata #15 | ||
68 | * ICH2 errata #21 - DMA mode 0 doesn't work right | ||
69 | * ICH0/1 errata #55 - As ICH2 errata #21 | ||
70 | * ICH2 spec c #9 - Extra operations needed to handle | ||
71 | * drive hotswap [NOT YET SUPPORTED] | ||
72 | * ICH2 spec c #20 - IDE PRD must not cross a 64K boundary | ||
73 | * and must be dword aligned | ||
74 | * ICH2 spec c #24 - UDMA mode 4,5 t85/86 should be 6ns not 3.3 | ||
75 | * | ||
76 | * Should have been BIOS fixed: | ||
77 | * 450NX: errata #19 - DMA hangs on old 450NX | ||
78 | * 450NX: errata #20 - DMA hangs on old 450NX | ||
79 | * 450NX: errata #25 - Corruption with DMA on old 450NX | ||
80 | * ICH3 errata #15 - IDE deadlock under high load | ||
81 | * (BIOS must set dev 31 fn 0 bit 23) | ||
82 | * ICH3 errata #18 - Don't use native mode | ||
