You've misread my question. I didn't ask about driver name, but pio-mode
property.


As for the driver name, it doesn't matter at all, as I've said already:
it's Linux specific anyway, and another compatible properties could be
added at any time, to a device tree and/or to the OF driver itself (if
some real OpenFirmware will pass some meaningful compatible property
that we'll have to match in that driver).

"generic" name is also bad one, it's confusing wrt ata_generic.c
driver (PCI). "simple" name doesn't tell anything at all. So, I'd
rather stick with -platform name.

Thanks,
