Hi, This patch is to pata_platform.c but at this time, it's powerpc specific because it can only be triggerred using openfirmware, so I post the patch here. The patch is against 2.6.26-rc8.
The problem is triggerred when ata device is populated using pata_of_platform.c, and no irq is assigned (poll mode, such as CF card). pata_of_platform_probe() parse device tree and if (ret == NO_IRQ) irq_res.start = irq_res.end = -1; Then irq is 0xffffffff, not NULL. Probe will fail coz irq can't be requested. --- (irq_res->start > 0) will be true even when it is (-1). When the device has no irq, irq_res->start is assigned (-1).
