    ata: libata-transport: fix {dma|pio|xfer}_mode sysfs files · 72aad489
    Sergey Shtylyov authored
    The {dma|pio}_mode sysfs files are incorrectly documented as having a
    list of the supported DMA/PIO transfer modes, while the corresponding
    fields of the *struct* ata_device hold the transfer mode IDs, not masks.
    
    To match these docs, the {dma|pio}_mode (and even xfer_mode!) sysfs
    files are handled by the ata_bitfield_name_match() macro which leads to
    reading such kind of nonsense from them:
    
    $ cat /sys/class/ata_device/dev3.0/pio_mode
    XFER_UDMA_7, XFER_UDMA_6, XFER_UDMA_5, XFER_UDMA_4, XFER_MW_DMA_4,
    XFER_PIO_6, XFER_PIO_5, XFER_PIO_4, XFER_PIO_3, XFER_PIO_2, XFER_PIO_1,
    XFER_PIO_0
    
    Using the correct ata_bitfield_name_search() macro fixes that:
    
    $ cat /sys/class/ata_device/dev3.0/pio_mode
    XFER_PIO_4
    
    While fixing the file documentation, somewhat reword the {dma|pio}_mode
    file doc and add a note about being mostly useful for PATA devices to
    the xfer_mode file doc...
