It has been years since I looked at MCP quirks, of which there are too
many.  It's likely another quirk on the controller side that nvidia
worked around somehow without telling anyone.  Given the history and
that nvidia is out of chipset market, I think it's highly unlikely to
learn what the issue and workaround are without reverse engineering
it.  So, um, no idea.

Thanks.

Title:
  System fails to connect to iHOS-104 DVD drive with nvidia MCP61
  chipset.

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The computer fails to connect to the LG iHOS-104 DVD drive.
  The drive is working, as it will boot the Windows installer.

  I have seen similar bugs posted on the internet for the past 5 years.
  Here's a thread that shows the problem fixed for the MCP55 chipset.

  threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1234502?do=post_view_threaded#1234502

  WORKAROUND: Use the DVD drive with a USB-SATA adapter.
