For the IT8211/2 in SMART this check shouldn't be made.
It is OK since in it821x_fixups() we set it explicitly:
if(strstr(id->model, "Integrated Technology Express")) {
/* In raid mode the ident block is slightly buggy
We need to set the bits so that the IDE layer knows
LBA28. LBA48 and DMA ar valid */
id->capability |= 3; /* LBA28, DMA */
and we are better off using generic helper if we can
(which may later allow us to use generic tuning code).

You've changed the behaviour there. Should the default be autodma=0 ?
Before my patch hwif->autodma was only checked in the chipset specific
hwif->ide_dma_check implementations. For ide-cris it is
cris_dma_check()
function so there no behavior change here.
Sorry for not explaining changes in detail in the patch description
(I will update it).
