Subject: [10/39] pata_cmd64x: fix overclocking of UDMA0-2 modes

2.6.31-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@...il.com>

commit 509426bd46ad0903dca409803e0ee3d30f99f1e8 upstream.

adev->dma_mode stores the transfer mode value not UDMA mode number
so the condition in cmd64x_set_dmamode() is always true and the higher
UDMA clock is always selected.  This can potentially result in data
corruption when UDMA33 device is used, when 40-wire cable is used or
when the error recovery code decides to lower the device speed down.

The issue was introduced in the commit 6a40da0 ("libata cmd64x: whack
into a shape that looks like the documentation") which goes back to
kernel 2.6.20.
