Subject: Re: [PATCH] ahci: Fix long standing Marvell regressions
And here's a rev 3
- Fix the option so it works both ways
- We can using the 6145 detect PATA enabled so implement a facility in
pata_marvell to punt to AHCI if disabled
We can't automate that for the other devices as we don't actually know
how to check the PATA port on them.

pata_marvell: Undo multiple ahci caused regressions
From: Alan Cox <alan@...hat.com>
I've been chasing Jeff about this for months so am now giving up and sending
it directly. Jeff added the Marvell device identifiers to the ahci driver
without making the AHCI driver handle the PATA port. This means a lot of users
can't use current kernels and in most distro cases can't even install.
This has been going on since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007
for the 6145!!!
This was all pointed out at the time and repeatedly ignored. Bugs assigned
to Jeff about this are ignored also.
To quote Jeff in email
"Just switch the order of 'ahci' and 'pata_marvell' in
/etc/modprobe.conf, then use Fedora's tools regenerate the initrd.
See? It's not rocket science, and the current configuration can be
easily made to work for Fedora users."
(Which isn't trivial, isn't end user, shouldn't be needed, and as it usually
breaks at install time is in fact impossible)
To quote Jeff in August 2007
" mv-ahci-pata
Marvell 6121/6141 PATA support. Needs fixing in the 'PATA controller
command' area before it is usable, and can go upstream."
Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further
id in March causing more regresions.
The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.
