I'm afraid I have to reject your patch.

First some formal reasons:

* CHANGELOG entry missing
* Coding Style violations (trailing white space, wrong indentation, etc.)
* You add a cople of new config options (like CONFIG_IDE_CARDBUS_CF_16BIT)
  without any documentation.

Technical reasons:

I think your changes to drivers/ti_pci1410a.c might  have  impact  on
(read:  will break) existing board support that uses this driver. Did
you check this with the previous authors?

You change the default configuration of the MPC8540ADS board; did you
check this with the maintainer of this board?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
