NAMEsil_dev_config − Apply device/host−specific errata fixups

---

SYNOPSISvoid sil_dev_config(struct ata_device * dev);

---

ARGUMENTSdev Device to be examined

---

DESCRIPTIONAfter the IDENTIFY [PACKET] DEVICE step is complete, and a device is known to be present, this function is called​. We apply two errata fixups which are specific to Silicon Image, a Seagate and a Maxtor fixup​. For certain Seagate devices, we must limit the maximum sectors to under 8K​. For certain Maxtor devices, we must not program the drive beyond udma5​. Both fixups are unfairly pessimistic​. As soon as I get more information on these errata, I will create a more exhaustive list, and apply the fixups to only the specific devices/hosts/firmwares that need it​. 20040111 − Seagate drives affected by the Mod15Write bug are blacklisted The Maxtor quirk is in the blacklist, but I´m keeping the original pessimistic fix for the following reasons​.​.​. − There seems to be less info on it, only one device gleaned off the Windows driver, maybe only one is affected​. More info would be greatly appreciated​. − But then again UDMA5 is hardly anything to complain about
