[PATCH] Fix Xilinx SystemACE driver to handle empty CF slot

[PATCH] Fix Xilinx SystemACE driver to handle empty CF slot

[Grant Likely]

From: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

The SystemACE driver does not handle an empty CF slot gracefully.  An
empty CF slot ends up hanging the system.  This patch adds a check for
the CF state and stops trying to process requests if the slot is empty.

Oops, sorry Jens.  I forgot to CC: you on this patch.

So with patches like this, it's always nice to know what your target is.
Do you want this in .29, or just queued up for .30? It's not always easy
to judge the urgency of such patches :-)

Also, I note that you are using end_request() throughout the driver. We
really want to get away from that, you should be using blk_end_request()
as that will handle full requests and not just segment-by-segment. No
worries for this patch, but you may want to consider that for a future
patch.

The driver completely falls down and hangs the system if the CF slot
is empty, so I would like to get it into .29.  On the other hand, it
has been a long standing issue, so if merging it will raise any
eyebrows then I'm okay to wait for .30.

Okay, will do.
