I have tested with generic 2.6.20.2 on on x86 (XEON) platform and a similiar (but not exactly same) 2.6.20.x (git tree from Freescale) for my target CPU: MPC8548E Its exactly the same SATA chip - the only difference between 7042 & 6042 is the PCI bridge interface. In the case of 6042 - its a PCI to PCI Bridge In the case of 7042 - its a PCI to PCI Express Bridge I do not believe there is any other difference - except the physical bus interface. I should have 'said' this in the patch request...
Check the Marvell GPL driver and errata for the chip. Grep for 'isPEX' to see all the PCI-Express-specific code and workarounds. sata_mv does not have a lot of those, which was the reason why I only added the 6042 PCI ID to the driver. Jeff
