Whilst both Erik and I independently came up with the same patch, upon
reflection, I'm not sure that this is the correct patch.  None of the
callers to ata_dmastart() check for a return value and therefore this
probably should be a void function - so the code in ata-isa.c is
correct and the remaining declaration and definitions are incorrect.

In either case, I would request that this be fixed before 4.9-RELEASE.
