[PATCH] IDE: correct partially initialised hw structures

From: Peter Denison (lkml@marshadder.uklinux.net)
Date: Sun Oct 27 2002 - 15:09:03 EST


Summary: Initialise all parts of hw_regs_t structures before passing them
to ide_register_hw

The hw structure (specifically the hw->chipset field) held uninitialised
data. This (before the initialisation order fixup recently posted) meant
that no chipset could ever get selected by an idex=<chipset> commandline
(silently!).

Only occurs on non-PCI platforms. All ARM platforms have already been
fixed - though slightly differently.

I'm not sure how valid a lot of the code I patched actually is. Does it
make sense on e.g. ia64 or x86_64 to specify CONFIG_PCI = n? Or even to
have the concept of default interfaces? The interfaces should get probed
anyway, and the ide_init_hwif_ports() part is called from init_hwif_data()
already. The only thing these arch-specific routines do extra is calling
ide_register_hw, which probably wants to happen from the probes, not here.

Applies: 2.5.44 (and probably others)
