Hi,
Hmm, contrary to ide-cd.c case there doesn't seem to be a need currently for
moving code out of ide-floppy.c (and this patch series doesn't change that).
Besides it would be better to just remove some structs like it has been done
with i.e. struct atapi_capabilities_page in ide-cd.c case [1]
Ok, there's a new patch.
This patch fixes a compilation warning in 'iwl-4965.c'.

For cards that initially have the MAC address stored in reverse order,
the forcedeth driver uses a flag to signal whether the address was
already corrected, so that it is not reversed again on a subsequent
probe.
Unfortunately this flag, which is stored in a register of the card,
seems to get lost

Make probe_hwif() return an error value.
While at it:
* Remove comment about MAX_DRIVES == 2 limitation (it is not special to
probe_hwif(), it is a general assumption taken by a lot of IDE code).
* Rename probe_hwif() to ide_probe_port().

* BUG_ON() early if 'hwif->next == hwif' and there is a 'match' hwgroup.
* Remove printk() for impossible condition and add a BUG_ON(hwgroup->drive)
to match code in ide_unregister().

Use the facts that:
* When ide_init() is called 'system_bus_speed' always equals zero.
* system_bus_clock() is never called before ide_init().
and:
* Move printk() from ide_system_bus_speed() to ide_init().
* Don't assign 'system_bus_speed' in ide_system_bus_speed().
* Don't call ide_system_b
Since kmalloc_node() is called with __GFP_ZERO flag there is no need to
explicitly zero hwgroup fields.
While at it:
* Use 'hwif' instead of 'hwif->drives[0].hwif' for kmalloc_node() call.
* Fix whitespace damage.

* Remove 'if (hwif != hwif_prop.hwif)' check from plat_ide_remove()
(pdev->dev.driver_data and hwif_prop.hwif are set at the same time
in plat_ide_probe() and are identical).
* Use hwif->index for ide_unregister() in plat_ide_remove().
* Use local variables instead of hwif_prop.plat_ide[_alt
* Call hwif_init() only if hwif->present is set.
* If hwif_init() fails clear hwif->present.

It could be that I/O resources are busy because some other host driver
has already claimed them so don't unregister the devices.
