Hello,

I am getting following error when trying to set DMA transfer mode as UDMA2 on 
latest DaVinci (DM6467) git kernel using hdparm (9.27 or older):

# ./hdparm -d1 -Xudma2  /dev/hda
/dev/hda:hda: UDMA/66 mode selected
 setting using_dma to 1 (on)
hda: UDMA/66 mode selected
 setting xfermode to 66 (UltraDMA mode2)
 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(setxfermode) failed: Invalid argument
 using_dma     =  1 (on)

It seems DMA mode setting other than the default mode returns this error. That 
is, if I use "-Xudma4" in above command it returns success as UDMA4 is the 
default mode on DM6467.

I made following change which allows hdparm to set any supported DMA mode. Can 
anyone confirm if this is a hdparm compatibility (incorrect use of ioctl?) or 
the patch below indeed fixes the issue?

Thanks.
