Understood.

I will apply it so we make some progress, but please see comments
below.

Applied, but please provide new (incremental) patches to fix the
following remaining issues:

doc/README.sata:

	Please apply Jerry Van Baren's "proposed English polishing."

drivers/block/ata_piix.h:

        Please add a file header which contains appropriate copyright
        and license information.

	Also, please make the file idempotent.

	Also, please change format strings like "49==0x%04x" into
	"49=0x%04x" or "49 = 0x%04x" or (IMHO best) "49 = %04X".
	Please do this globally (some other files, too).

drivers/block/fsl_sata.c:

        Generic S-ATA code like ata_low_level_rw_lba48(),
        ata_low_level_rw_lba28(), sata_read(), sata_write(), or
        scan_sata() is in no way FSL-specific and thus has no place
        in fsl_sata.c; please move this into a separate file.

        I think it would be kind of funny if the sc520 board will
        only compile when fsl_sata.c is included.


Thanks!

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
