The enable bits for the AMD74XX controller (which the 5536 uses) are
in PCI config byte 0x40. bit 1 is the enable bit for port 0 and bit 0
is the enable bit for port 1.
I have just tried both db800 and norwich in v2 with the legacy AMD5536 driver
and both worked (well, db800 puked, but for other reasons). Here's the
boot log:
AMD5536: IDE controller (0x1022:0x209a rev 0x01) at PCI slot 0000:00:0f.2
AMD5536: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
AMD5536: 0000:00:0f.2 (rev 01) UDMA100 controller
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1ca0-0x1ca7, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio
AMD5536: IDE port disabled
The last line is the secondary bus being disabled.
I looked at the libata driver, and it seems to be doing the right thing -
reading 0x40 and checking bit 1.
So I checked the code: in v2, src/southbridge/amd/cs5536/cs5536_ide.c
handles the honors.
So long story short - this is possibly something that just never got
brought over to v3?
