ide: add "ignore_cable" parameter (take 2)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add "ignore_cable" parameter:

* "ide_core.ignore_cable=[interface_number]" boot option if IDE is built-in
  (i.e. "ide_core.ignore_cable=1" to force ignoring cable for "ide1")

* "ignore_cable=[interface_number]" module parameter (for ide_core module)
  if IDE is compiled as module

v2:
* Add ide_port_apply_params() helper
  - use it in ide_device_add_all() and ide_scan_port().

* Make it possible to later disable ignoring cable detection by passing
  "[interface_number]:0" to /sys/module/ide_core/parameters/ignore_cable
  (however sysfs interface is not enabled yet since it needs some other
   IDE changes to make it work reliable).

You also need to use "probe" kernel parameter for ide-4drives driver
(support for IDE generic chipset with four drives on one port).

To force ignoring cable detection (this should be needed only if you're using
short 40-wires cable which cannot be automatically detected - if this is not
a case please report it as a bug instead) use "ignore_cable" kernel parameter:

* "ide_core.ignore_cable=[interface_number]" boot option if IDE is built-in
(i.e. "ide_core.ignore_cable=1" to force ignoring cable for "ide1")

* "ignore_cable=[interface_number]" module parameter (for ide_core module)
