Subject: libata: Implement ATA_FLAG_NO_DIPM and apply it to mcp65
From: Tejun Heo <[email protected]>
commit ae01b2493c3bf03c504c32ac4ebb01d528508db3 upstream.
NVIDIA mcp65 familiy of controllers cause command timeouts when DIPM
is used. Implement ATA_FLAG_NO_DIPM and apply it.
This problem was reported by Stefan Bader in the following thread.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/48841
stable: applicable to 2.6.37 and 38.
