NAME
ata_acpi_push_timing - set the channel (controller) timings
SYNOPSIS
void ata_acpi_push_timing (struct ata_port * ap);
ARGUMENTS
ap target ata_port (channel)
DESCRIPTION
For PATA ACPI, this function executes the _STM ACPI method for the
target channel.
_STM only applies to ATA controllers in PATA (legacy) mode, not to
SATA. In legacy mode, ap->hard_port_no is channel (controller) number.
_STM requires Identify Drive data, which must already be present in
ata_device->id[] (i.e., it’s not fetched here).
