Whilst both Erik and I independently came up with the same patch, upon reflection, I'm not sure that this is the correct patch. None of the callers to ata_dmastart() check for a return value and therefore this probably should be a void function - so the code in ata-isa.c is correct and the remaining declaration and definitions are incorrect. In either case, I would request that this be fixed before 4.9-RELEASE. Peter
