From 81afe893181b283f9d182ea8637ce6ccdbe1a56a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2007 12:37:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] libata: clear TF before IDENTIFYing Some devices chock if Feature is not clear when IDENTIFY is issued. Set ATA_TFLAG_ISADDR | ATA_TFLAG_DEVICE for IDENTIFY such that whole TF is cleared when reading ID data. Kudos to Art Haas for testing various futile patches over several months and Mark Lord for pointing out the fix.
