Subject: [PATCH 3/5] libata: init probe_ent->private_data in a common loc


commit d639ca94188fedbd8cfde1ab4ed9e9878ab2f01e
Author: Jeff Garzik <jeff@...zik.org>

    [libata] init probe_ent->private_data in a common location

    Don't write the same code twice, in two different functions, when they
    both call the same initialization function, with the same private_data
    pointer info.

    Also, note a bug found with a FIXME.
