    SubjectRe: [PATCH] sata_promise: Port enumeration order - SATA 150 TX4, SATA 300 TX4
    Date
    Hi !

    We have several of these boards in use [SATA 300 TX4] (bought over time .. not in one batch). All of them have the ordering as
    described below. So another vote for "Please fix!" :)

    bye,
    Chris
