ide: relax DMA info validity checking

There are some broken devices that report multiple DMA xfer modes enabled at once (ATA spec doesn't allow it) but otherwise work fine with DMA so just delete ide_id_dma_bug(). [ As discovered by detective work by Frans and Bart, due to how handling of the ID block was handled before commit c419993 ("ide-iops: only clear DMA words on setting DMA mode") this check was always seeing zeros in the fields or other similar garbage. Therefore this check wasn't actually checking anything. Now that the tests actually check the real bits, all we see are devices that trigger the check yet work perfectly fine, therefore killing this useless check is the best thing to do. -DaveM ] Reported-by: Frans Pop <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
