I'm using kernel 2.6.21-mm1 and get strange problems when connecting

with an slightly older kernel version though. And since I couldn't figure
out who is responsible for the
ata_port_abort(),
similar to ahci and sata_sil24. Doing this is important as it
makes EH see the original error and not a bogus timeout.

Thanks to Tejun for educating me about the significance of
ata_port_abort()/ata_port_freeze() in ahci and sata_sil24
chips.
This patch updates sata_promise to use the new port number to
ATA engine mapping on SATAII TX4 cards, which fixes the drive
enumeration order problem on those cards. Tested on several
1st and 2nd generation TX2plus and TX4 chips.

Your patch to delete the 'return 1;' on error is correct,
and makes the code match exactly the behaviour of previous
versions of sata_promise, except for the additional error

Please explain why this rename is a correction.
Did the company making these chips change name at some point?
