Right. Current mg_disk polling driver doesn't check status register
(should be ready status) after writing last sector. Thanks.

I think checking ready status after do-while loop is enough.

static void mg_write(struct request *req)
{
	u32 j;
	struct mg_host *host = req->rq_disk->private_data;

	if (mg_out(host, blk_rq_pos(req), blk_rq_sectors(req),
		   MG_CMD_WR, NULL) != MG_ERR_NONE) {
		mg_bad_rw_intr(host);
		return;
	}

	MG_DBG("requested %d sects (from %ld), buffer=0x%p\n",
	       blk_rq_sectors(req), blk_rq_pos(req), req->buffer);

	do {
		u16 *buff = (u16 *)req->buffer;

		if (mg_wait(host, ATA_DRQ, MG_TMAX_WAIT_WR_DRQ) !=
				MG_ERR_NONE) {
			mg_bad_rw_intr(host);
			return;
		}
		for (j = 0; j < MG_SECTOR_SIZE >> 1; j++)
			outw(*buff++, (unsigned long)host->dev_base +
				      MG_BUFF_OFFSET + (j << 1));

		outb(MG_CMD_WR_CONF, (unsigned long)host->dev_base +
				MG_REG_COMMAND);
	} while (mg_end_request(host, 0, MG_SECTOR_SIZE));

+	if (mg_wait(host, MG_STAT_READY, MG_TMAX_WAIT_WR_DRQ) !=
+			MG_ERR_NONE)
+		mg_bad_rw_intr(host);
}
