Re: Heads up: checking in change to ata-card.c

My question is really about -STABLE rather than -CURRENT, but it
involves a problem recently resolved in -CURRENT.

On Thu, 26 Jun 2003, Bill Paul started this thread regarding failed
support for the Sony PCMCIA CD-ROM drive ("NinjaATA-") in releases
since 4.5, including 4.8 and 5.1.  You folks resolved a patch for
ata-card.c that was applied in -CURRENT.  Can some equivalent patch be
made for -STABLE?

I tried what I thought might be the equivalent patch (eliminating an
else clause), but it did not solve the problem.  In 4.8-RELEASE I
sometimes get a system hang and sometimes not, but even when it does
not hang, I just get "Device not configured" when I try to mount
/dev/acd0c.  The output I get is:

 /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0
 pccardd[49]: Card " "("NinjaATA-") [V1.0] [AP00 ] matched " " ("NinjaATA-") [(null)] [(null)]
 /kernel: ata2 at port 0x180-0x187,0x386 iomem 0xd4000-0xd4fff irq 9 slot 0 on pccard0
 pccardd[49]: ata2: NinjaATA inserted.

I don't get anything like Bill Paul's success case:

> ata2: <  NinjaATA-> at port 0x180-0x187,0x386-0x387 irq 9 function 0 config 33 on pccard0> acd0: CDROM <CD-224E> at ata2-master PIO4

But I don't know what I should expect to see on success in -STABLE
vs. this message from -CURRENT.
