[PATCH] libata: implement ata_dev_revalidate()
ata_dev_revalidate() re-reads IDENTIFY PAGE of the given device and makes sure it's the same device as the configured one. Once it's verified that it's the same device, @dev is configured according to newly read IDENTIFY PAGE. Note that revalidation currently doesn't invoke transfer mode reconfiguration. Criteria for 'same device' * same class (of course) * same model string * same serial string * if ATA, same n_sectors (to catch geometry parameter changes) Signed-off-by:Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:
