SIL_DEV_CONFIG(9)	      sata_sil Internals	     SIL_DEV_CONFIG(9)

NAME
       sil_dev_config - Apply device/host-specific errata fixups

SYNOPSIS
       void sil_dev_config(struct ata_device * dev);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
	   Device to be examined

DESCRIPTION
       After the IDENTIFY [PACKET] DEVICE step is complete, and a device is
       known to be present, this function is called. We apply two errata
       fixups which are specific to Silicon Image, a Seagate and a Maxtor
       fixup.

       For certain Seagate devices, we must limit the maximum sectors to under
       8K.

       For certain Maxtor devices, we must not program the drive beyond udma5.

       Both fixups are unfairly pessimistic. As soon as I get more information
       on these errata, I will create a more exhaustive list, and apply the
       fixups to only the specific devices/hosts/firmwares that need it.

       20040111 - Seagate drives affected by the Mod15Write bug are
       blacklisted The Maxtor quirk is in the blacklist, but I´m keeping the
       original pessimistic fix for the following reasons... - There seems to
       be less info on it, only one device gleaned off the Windows driver,
       maybe only one is affected. More info would be greatly appreciated. -
       But then again UDMA5 is hardly anything to complain about
