This may be it:
│
CONFIG_SATA_VIA:
│
│
│
│ This option enables support for VIA Serial
ATA.
│
│
│
│ If unsure, say
N.
│
│
│
│ Symbol: SATA_VIA
[=n]
│
│ Type :
tristate
│
│ Prompt: VIA SATA
support
│
│ Defined at
drivers/ata/Kconfig:266
│
│ Depends on: ATA [=y] && ATA_SFF [=y] && ATA_BMDMA [=y] && PCI
[=y]
│
│
Location:
│
│ -> Device
Drivers
│
│ -> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers (ATA
[=y])
│
│ -> ATA SFF support (ATA_SFF
[=y])
│
│ -> ATA BMDMA support (ATA_BMDMA [=y])
It looks like that is for all VIA drivers. It's all I could find anyway.
