Re: Support for PATA in Promise 378 driver

Hi!

As I can see, there is no support for PATA port on promise 378 chip
currently.

Is this support planned?
If now, why? Is there some religious reasons?  ;) Or just matter of time?

I just see, that I'm not one person who can't migrate to 2.6 because of
using PATA port on 378.
There is no driver from Promise, driver from libata also does not
support.

So, now I see two solutions:
1) adopt promise driver from vendor (which use cam) for 2.6
kernel, if there is religious reasons ;)
2) try to work under libata promise driver in order to have
support for PATA port.

It's a to-do item at the moment...
