Summary of ide driver parameters for kernel command line
--------------------------------------------------------
- "ide=doubler" : probe/support IDE doublers on Amiga
-
-There may be more options than shown -- use the source, Luke!
-
-Everything else is rejected with a "BAD OPTION" message.

For legacy IDE VLB host drivers (ali14xx/dtc2278/ht6560b/qd65xx/umc8672)
you need to explicitly enable probing by using "probe" kernel parameter,
i.e. to enable probing for ALI M14xx chipsets (ali14xx host driver) use:
You also need to use "probe" kernel parameter for ide-4drives driver
(support for IDE generic chipset with four drives on one port).
+To enable support for IDE doublers on Amiga use "doubler" kernel parameter
+for gayle host driver (i.e. "gayle.doubler" if the driver is built-in).
+
To force ignoring cable detection (this should be needed only if you're using
short 40-wires cable which cannot be automatically detected - if this is not
a case please report it as a bug instead) use "ignore_cable" kernel parameter:
#define GAYLE_HAS_CONTROL_REG (!ide_doubler)
#define GAYLE_IDEREG_SIZE (ide_doubler ? 0x1000 : 0x2000)
int ide_doubler = 0; /* support IDE doublers? */
+module_param_named(doubler, ide_doubler, bool, 0);
+MODULE_PARM_DESC(doubler, "enable support for IDE doublers");
#endif /* CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDOUBLER */
