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
