Since viking flash has a problem in the MWDMA mode which causes data
corruption, this patch allows the driver to detect the model number
and switch the IO mode to PIO6 if it's a viking flash.
Hmmm... is this specific to pata_octeon_cf or should it apply to the
device regardless of the controller in use?



It's not specific to pata_octeon_cf , it should be applied to the device regardless of controller. Is there a better place to put this to cover all ?
