The {dma|pio}_mode sysfs files are incorrectly documented as having a
list of the supported DMA/PIO transfer modes, while the corresponding
fields of the *struct* ata_device hold the transfer mode IDs, not masks.
To match these docs, the {dma|pio}_mode (and even xfer_mode!) sysfs
files are handled by the ata_bitfield_name_match() macro which leads to
reading such kind of nonsense from them:
$ cat /sys/class/ata_device/dev3.0/pio_mode
XFER_UDMA_7, XFER_UDMA_6, XFER_UDMA_5, XFER_UDMA_4, XFER_MW_DMA_4,
XFER_PIO_6, XFER_PIO_5, XFER_PIO_4, XFER_PIO_3, XFER_PIO_2, XFER_PIO_1,
XFER_PIO_0
Using the correct ata_bitfield_name_search() macro fixes that:
$ cat /sys/class/ata_device/dev3.0/pio_mode
XFER_PIO_4
While fixing the file documentation, somewhat reword the {dma|pio}_mode
file doc and add a note about being mostly useful for PATA devices to
the xfer_mode file doc...

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
