Subject: 2.6.24-rc2 displays incorrect DVD description

For example, 2.6.23.1:

Linux version 2.6.23.1 (root@...iter) (gcc version 4.2.2) #1 SMP PREEMPT
Fri Oct 26 13:09:09 CDT 2007
kernel: hdd: HP DVD Writer 1040d, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
kernel: hdd: ATAPI 48X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache,
UDMA(66)

and

2.6.24-rc2:

Linux version 2.6.24-rc2 (ironman@...iter) (gcc version 4.2.2) #1 SMP
PREEMPT Fri Nov 9 20:41:37 CST 2007
kernel: hdd: HP DVD Writer 1040d, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
kernel: hdd: ATAPI 126X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache,
UDMA(66)

The drive seems to work correctly, reading and writing just fine.  I just
happened to notice this and thought I'd pass it along.

One other odd thing while looking through the logs, 2.6.23.1 has also
reported the drive as follows:

Linux version 2.6.23.1 (root@...iter) (gcc version 4.2.2) #1 SMP PREEMPT
Fri Oct 26 13:09:09 CDT 2007
kernel: hdd: HP DVD Writer 1040d, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
kernel: hdd: ATAPI 32X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache,
UDMA(66)

Any idea what is going on here?  It's being reported as 48X, 126X, and 32X.

Thanks,
Steve
