Re: [PATCH] ata_piix.c: check PCI sub-class code before AHCI disabling: msg#00258

This patch adds functionality to check the PCI sub-class code of an
AHCI capable device before disabling AHCI.  It fixes a bug where an
ICH7 sata controller is being setup by the BIOS as sub-class 1 (ide)
and the AHCI control registers weren't being initialized, thus causing
an IO error in piix_disable_ahci().

Thanks,

Applied to 2.6.x, and uploads to 'upstream' branch of libata-dev.git.

Will apply to 2.4.x as soon as Marcelo pulls what I just submitted.
