Subject: [PATCH] sata-via: enable magic transmission fix for vt6420

I was able to reproduce and test the transmission error on vt6420
hardware with the 2G WD drives. Adding the controller ID to this fix
seems to result in a properly working system.

Clearly that was meant to say 2T drives :-)

Please CC linux-ide and myself on all libata patches, as MAINTAINERS and
drivers/ata/sata_via.c both indicate.

Yeah, there was another report on bugzilla and I contacted Joseph a
few days ago for confirmation. There are multiple PCI IDs for vt6420
and I think we'll probably have to apply the workaround to all of
them. Joseph, can you please confirm this?

Thanks.

Oh, I thought I had CC'ed you, you're in the signoff trail of the
initial patch, I must have fudged it. Sorry about that.
