SiI 3112 sata_error

[Justin Cormack]

I have a SiI3112 PCI card 

01:01.0 Unknown mass storage controller: CMD Technology Inc: Unknown
device 3112 (rev 01)

SiI3112 Serial ATA: IDE controller at PCI slot 01:01.0
SiI3112 Serial ATA: chipset revision 1
SiI3112 Serial ATA: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
    ide2: MMIO-DMA , BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
    ide3: MMIO-DMA , BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio

The drives are Maxtor 4A250J0 parallel ATA with Silicon Image
converters.

hdparm -i /dev/hde

/dev/hde:

 Model=Maxtor 4A250J0, FwRev=RAMB1TU0, SerialNo=A804KZ3E

 CurCHS=16383/16/63, CurSects=16514064, LBA=yes, LBAsects=268435455
 IORDY=on/off, tPIO={min:120,w/IORDY:120}, tDMA={min:120,rec:120}

 UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2
 AdvancedPM=yes: disabled (255) WriteCache=enabled
 Drive conforms to: (null):  1 2 3 4 5 6 7


running under 2.4.21-pre4-ac1 and I get continual errors of:

May 29 12:42:42 calamari kernel: hde: sata_error = 0x00000000, watchdog
= 0, siimage_mmio_ide_dma_test_irq
May 29 12:42:42 calamari kernel: hdg: sata_error = 0x00000000, watchdog
= 0, siimage_mmio_ide_dma_test_irq

as soon as I turn dma on. 

If I remove the printk from siimage.c they seem to run fine, with good
performance, so I wonder if this error might be bogus?

The driver needs to have "drive->id->hw_config |= 0x6000;" added in
siimagemask... for the device id only.

This commits a LIE, but so what.

We just tell the driver that SATA does not care about cable detect.
