4ca8a7726f PCI: Fix printk warnings in probe.c
The cleaned up resource code in probe.c introduced some warnings:

20f18ff32f Add support for the Arcom/Eurotech Viper SBC CompactFlash card slot
The Arcom/Eurotech Viper needs some extra care to run. On this board,
the PC104 connector is actually wired to the second PCMCIA slot.
Therefore, this second socket needs to be enabled, despite not being
managed by the PCMCIA code.

I'd rather have the MECR setup in the platform support code so I could,
for example, use the PC104 bus without having the PCMCIA module loaded.

e7d48fa2b5 [I2C] pxa: provide late suspend and early resume hooks
Properly hook the I2C driver into the PM code; the previous fix for
this (ece5f7b3c4) worked around the
platform where I2C is required to be available early during resume.

It has been found to be sufficient to use the early resume hook for
this function, so the original hack can die.  Leave the hack in
place for the PIO transfer handler though.

Handle station IDs of transmitted packets when in monitor mode, and

This makes injection work on iwl4965 and iwl5000. Tested on both cards.

Note: To inject management frames with encryption, HW crypto support
must be disabled using the "swcrypto=1" modparam (or "swcrypto50=1"
for iwl5000). Otherwise most management frames won't be transmitted.

 * no problems anymore with packages > 1399 octets (without lowering the MTU).

On HSM_ST_ERR, ata_hsm_move() triggers WARN_ON() if AC_ERR_DEV or
AC_ERR_HSM is not set.  PHY events may trigger HSM_ST_ERR with other

do WARN_ON() on it.  Even if error code is not set there, core EH
logic won't have any problem dealing with the error condition.

2fd673ecf0 sata_nv: disable hardreset for generic
of them being unifying probing, hotplug and EH reset paths uniform.
Previously, broken hardreset could go unnoticed as it wasn't used
during probing but when something goes wrong or after hotplug the
problem will surface and bite hard.

OSDL bug 11195 reports that sata_nv generic flavor falls into this
category.  Hardreset itself succeeds but PHY stays offline after
hardreset.  I tried longer debounce timing but the result was the
same.

  http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11195

So, it seems we'll have to drop hardreset from the generic flavor.

5b66c829bf ahci, pata_marvell: play nicely together
I've been chasing Jeff about this for months.  Jeff added the Marvell
device identifiers to the ahci driver without making the AHCI driver
handle the PATA port. This means a lot of users can't use current
kernels and in most distro cases can't even install.

This has been going on since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007
for the 6145!!!

This was all pointed out at the time and repeatedly ignored. Bugs assigned
to Jeff about this are ignored also.

(Which isn't trivial, isn't end user, shouldn't be needed, and as it usually
breaks at install time is in fact impossible)

Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further
id in March causing more regresions.

The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.
