scsi: ppa: Add a module parameter for the transfer mode
I have an Iomega Z100P2 zip drive, but it does not work with my StarTech
PEX1P2 AX99100 PCIe parallel port, which evidently does not support 16-bit
or 32-bit EPP. Currently the only way to tell the PPA driver to use 8-bit
EPP is to write 'mode=3' to /proc/scsi/ppa/*, but the driver doesn't
actually distinguish between the three EPP modes and still tries to use
16-bit or 32-bit EPP. And even if writing to that file did make the driver
use 8-bit EPP, it still wouldn't do me any good because by the time that
file exists, the drive has already failed to initialize.
Add a new parameter /sys/module/ppa/mode to set the transfer mode before
initializing the drive. This parameter replaces the use of
CONFIG_SCSI_IZIP_EPP16 in the PPA driver.
At the same time, default to 8-bit EPP. 16-bit and 32-bit EPP are not
necessary for the drive to function, nor are they part of the IEEE 1284
standard, so the driver should not assume that they are available.
