0x848a in ID word 0 indicates CFA device iff the ID data is obtained

indicates valid ATAPI device. Fix sanity check in ata_dev_read_id()
such that ATAPI devices reporting 0x848a in ID word 0 is not handled
as error.

The problem is identified by J.A. Magallon with HL-DT-ST DVDRAM

Jeff, this is a regression and thus should go into .19.

You mean 2.6.18, yes?

Actually, it looks like it should indeed be 2.6.19 (libata #upstream), not 2.6.18 (libata #upstream-fixes). Alan's "add compactflash support" patch isn't in 2.6.18-rc.

So, this should -not- be sent for 2.6.18.

Jeff
