>Description:
      The locking changes to ata-all.c made in r1.229 expect the locking method to return ch->unit.  The pccard ata (ata-card.c) driver has bogus locking which was not updated to return ch->unit, it returns 1.  This causes ata-all.c enter an infinite loop trying to lock in ata_attach().
>How-To-Repeat:
      Insert a pcmcia ata device or compact flash ata device and watch it not attach.  Ejecting the device will cause a panic as soon as something (atacontrol) tries to touch it.
>Fix:
      This has an extremely trivial fix, so it should probably be applied and merged to 5.x quickly (for 5.3).  Note: this was submitted via web form so whitespace will be broken, but its a simple enough patch.
