[PATCH] Allow Marvell SATA driver to work with LEDS_TRIGGER_IDE_DISK

From: Josh Coombs <hidden>
Date: 2013-01-09 16:19:29
Also in: linux-ide, lkml

I'm testing a revised version of this patch that renames the trigger
to just 'disk' and updates all documentation and default_trigger
definitions to match.  I'm also registering the trigger name
'ide-disk' for now so external tools/scripts/distros won't break while
a depreciation time is chosen.

Once I've verified this behaves on my system, I'm assuming a patch
that touches 25 files should be broken up?  I'm thinking of submitting
in the following chunks:

ledtrig-ide-disk to ledtrig-disk
documentation updates
default-trigger updates
Marvell SATA adjusted to call the trigger

Any objections or comments on this plan of attack?

Would it make more sense to add a second trigger
for SATA instead?
I'll leave that up to the led guys, I just wanted to raise the point
that the driver could logically support other types of disks, and we
should come up with a migration path instead of adding capabilities
ad-hoc.
I agree with Jason's suggestion. One more thing to consider.

If we replace the name, 'ide-disk' or 'ide_disk' with general one,
then we should change the value of 'default_trigger' under arch directory also.
LED trigger works if the name is matched with trigger name of LED device.

Thanks,
Milo
