From the driver structure, the function names and the actual register accesses I had the impression that this chip differs largely from the ATA/ATAPI Host Adapter Standard as decribed in the ANSI committee T13 document 1510D (which happens to be the basis of most of the Linux ATA/ATAPI drivers). I may be wrong and happily defer to the opposite.
