I've just sent patch removing these 2 lines to Linus and actually I was
thinking about Ross Biro's patch when writing this.  Can you test?


ide: fix for Promise 20265/20267 PIO Lockup

Orginal patch by Ross Biro:

Newer kernels will lock up when a drive command (SMART, hdparm -I, etc.)
is issued to a drive connected to a Promise 20265 or 20267 controller
while the controller is in DMA mode.  The problem appears to be that
tune_chipset incorrectly clears the high PIO bit thinking that it is a
"PIO force on" bit.  The documentation I have access to does not seem to
mention a PIO force bit.  Not changing that bit seems to fix the problem
with drive commands on a promise controller.

The documentation I have also says the values for the TB and TC
variables should be the same for all UDMA modes and they are not.
However the driver seems to work anyway, so I left them the way they are.

To reproduce this problem make sure your drive is set to a DMA mode, eg
hdparm -X 67 and then issue a drive command, e.g. hdparm -I.

This problem may also be present in the drivers for other Promise chips.

This change has only been minimally tested.
