I'm not talking about disabling all functionality for partcular chips. It would
be sufficient to disable in wd DMA/UDMA support for chipsets already supported
by ata, which will encourage all users with these chipsets to use ata (while in
case of any problems they still will be able to fallback to wd though it would
work somewhat slower).
