There are solid technical reasons (a) why libata drivers include scsi.h, and (b) why all libata drivers look similar. It -impedes- maintenance to have one libata driver different from all the others, and this is what you are suggesting.

Your suggestion causes nothing but additional work, for zero gain: as I have explained, all the scsi.h includes will go away at the same time. Such as sweep would catch all libata drivers, including sata_mv.

Until you're willing to step up and help with 2.4.x maintenance, you're just being an impediment for non-technical reasons. If you want to do that, join politics and become a politician. I have real work to do.
