Remaining question: any preferred name for that property? pio-mode okay?
It's assuming that PIO6 capable bus supports PIO0 as well, thus no mask.

  I've already suggested "generic". A name "simple" also comes to my mind.

You've misread my question. I didn't ask about driver name, but pio-mode
property.

    I'm OK with "pio-mode" then. Just don't think it makes much sense in the 
context of this driver which has no provision for the programming the mode 
timings (and if there were some provision, the *generic* platform driver 
couldn't handle it anyway).

As for the driver name, it doesn't matter at all, as I've said already:
it's Linux specific anyway, and another compatible properties could be
added at any time, to a device tree and/or to the OF driver itself (if
some real OpenFirmware will pass some meaningful compatible property
that we'll have to match in that driver).

"generic" name is also bad one, it's confusing wrt ata_generic.c
driver (PCI).

    The "compatible" property doesn't have to contain the driver name, so 
there should be no confusion with the driver names. It's just different name 
spaces. :-)

"simple" name doesn't tell anything at all. So, I'd rather stick with -platform name.

    Well, those two should be "generic-ata" and "simple-ata" of course. And it 
*does* tell that the driver just provides taskfile control, without the 
transfer timing control and other fancy stuff...
