Hello, I wrote:
Also, what mmio-ide in the compat properly means in the context
of ide_platform which is able to handle both port and memory mapped
IDE.
I/O-space is only valid in the context of PCI, ISA, or similar buses,
and
the bus-specific reg format indicates whether it's mmio-space or
io-space.
You could save time on lecturing me (and use it to look on the
driver ;-).
Sorry, I misread the question as being a mismatch between the
capabilities of the device binding and the driver, not about the
specific compatible name.
That too. :-)
Something like "generic-ide" would probably be better.
I strongly disagree with "generic" part. The generic IDE could only be
said of 1:1 I/O mapped IDE ports, not about this fancy mapping.
BTW, there's already something called drivers/ide/ide-generic.c... :-)
MBR, Sergei
