The effect of this is a longer-than-needed boot time.

Some notebooks from HP have the problem that their BIOSes attempt to
spin down hard drives before entering ACPI system states S4 and S5.
This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the
last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the
kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS.
This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times.
To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems
using DMI information.

There currently are the following looping constructs.
* __ata_port_for_each_link() for all available links
* ata_port_for_each_link() for edge links
* ata_link_for_each_dev() for all devices
* ata_link_for_each_dev_reverse() for all devices in reverse order
Now there's a need for looping construct which is similar to
__ata_port_for_each_link() but iterates over PMP links before the host
link. Instead of adding another one with long name, do the following
cleanup.
* Implement and export ata_link_next() and ata_dev_next() which take
@mode parameter and can be used to build custom loop.
* Implement ata_for_each_link() and ata_for_each_dev() which take
looping mode explicitly.
The following iteration modes are implemented.
* ATA_LITER_EDGE : loop over edge links
* ATA_LITER_HOST_FIRST : loop over all links, host link first
* ATA_LITER_PMP_FIRST : loop over all links, PMP links first
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED : loop over enabled devices
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED_REVERSE : loop over enabled devices in reverse order
* ATA_DITER_ALL : loop over all devices
* ATA_DITER_ALL_REVERSE : loop over all devices in reverse order
This change removes exlicit device enabledness checks from many loops
and makes it clear which ones are iterated over in which direction.

Add an appropriate entry for the Promise PDC42819 controller. It has an
AHCI mode and so far works correctly with board_ahci.
This chip is found on Promise's FastTrak TX2650 (2 port) and TX4650 (4 port)
software-based RAID cards (for which there is a binary driver, t3sas) and
can be found on some motherboards, for example the MSI K9A2 Platinum,
which calls the chip a Promise T3 controller.
Although this controller also supports SAS devices, its default bootup mode
is AHCI and the binary driver has to do some magic to get the chip into the
appropriate mode to drive SAS disks.
Seeing as no documentation is provided by Promise, adding this entry to the
ahci driver allows the controller to be useful to people as a SATA
controller (with no ill effects on the system if a SAS disk is connected -
probing of the port just times out with "link online but device
misclassified"), without having to resort to using the binary driver. Users
who require SAS or the proprietary software raid can get this functionality
using the binary driver.

On user request (through sysfs), the IDLE IMMEDIATE command with UNLOAD

expires or user space asks to resume normal operation. This is supposed
to prevent the heads of a hard drive from accidentally crashing onto the

I've been chasing Jeff about this for months. Jeff added the Marvell
device identifiers to the ahci driver without making the AHCI driver
handle the PATA port. This means a lot of users can't use current
kernels and in most distro cases can't even install.
This has been going on since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007
for the 6145!!!
This was all pointed out at the time and repeatedly ignored. Bugs assigned
to Jeff about this are ignored also.
To quote Jeff in email

(Which isn't trivial, isn't end user, shouldn't be needed, and as it usually
breaks at install time is in fact impossible)
To quote Jeff in August 2007
> " mv-ahci-pata

Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further
id in March causing more regresions.
The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.

SIS controllers were blacklisted for PMP as enabling it made device
detection fail whether the device was PMP or not - the natural
conclusion was the controller chokes on SRST w/ pmp==15. However, it
turned out that the controller just didn't like issuing SRST after
hardreset w/o clearing SError first. Interestingly, the SRST itself
succeeds but the following commands fail.
If SError is cleared between hardreset and SRST, which is the default
behavior now, everything works fine and SIS controllers work with PMPs
happily.

Previously, post-softreset readiness is waited as follows.
1. ata_sff_wait_after_reset() waits for 150ms and then for
ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff and other conditions meet.
2. ata_bus_softreset() finishes with -ENODEV if status is still 0xff.
If not, continue to #3.
3. ata_bus_post_reset() waits readiness of dev0 and/or dev1 depending
on devmask using ata_sff_wait_ready().
And for post-hardreset readiness,
1. ata_sff_wait_after_reset() waits for 150ms and then for
ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff and other conditions meet.
2. sata_sff_hardreset waits for device readiness using
ata_sff_wait_ready().
This patch merges and unifies post-reset readiness waits into
ata_sff_wait_ready() and ata_sff_wait_after_reset().
ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT handling is merged into ata_sff_wait_ready(). If TF
status is 0xff, link status is unknown and the port is SATA, it will
continue polling till ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT.
ata_sff_wait_after_reset() is updated to perform the following steps.
1. waits for 150ms.
2. waits for dev0 readiness using ata_sff_wait_ready(). Note that
this is done regardless of devmask, as ata_sff_wait_ready() handles
0xff status correctly, this preserves the original behavior except
that it may wait longer after softreset if link is online but
status is 0xff. This behavior change is very unlikely to cause any
actual difference and is intended. It brings softreset behavior to
that of hardreset.
3. waits for dev1 readiness just the same way ata_bus_post_reset() did.
Now both soft and hard resets call ata_sff_wait_after_reset() after
reset to wait for readiness after resets. As
ata_sff_wait_after_reset() contains calls to ->sff_dev_select(),
explicit call near the end of sata_sff_hardreset() is removed.
This change makes reset implementation simpler and more consistent.
While at it, make the magical 150ms wait post-reset wait duration a
constant and ata_sff_wait_ready() and ata_sff_wait_after_reset() take
@link instead of @ap. This is to make them consistent with other
reset helpers and ease core changes.

Currently reset methods are not specified directly in the
ata_port_operations table. If a LLD wants to use custom reset
methods, it should construct and use a error_handler which uses those
reset methods. It's done this way for two reasons.
First, the ops table already contained too many methods and adding
four more of them would noticeably increase the amount of necessary
boilerplate code all over low level drivers.
Second, as ->error_handler uses those reset methods, it can get
confusing. ie. By overriding ->error_handler, those reset ops can be
made useless making layering a bit hazy.
Now that ops table uses inheritance, the first problem doesn't exist
anymore. The second isn't completely solved but is relieved by
providing default values - most drivers can just override what it has
implemented and don't have to concern itself about higher level
callbacks. In fact, there currently is no driver which actually
modifies error handling behavior. Drivers which override
->error_handler just wraps the standard error handler only to prepare
the controller for EH. I don't think making ops layering strict has
any noticeable benefit.
This patch makes ->prereset, ->softreset, ->hardreset, ->postreset and
their PMP counterparts propoer ops. Default ops are provided in the
base ops tables and drivers are converted to override individual reset
methods instead of creating custom error_handler.
* ata_std_error_handler() doesn't use sata_std_hardreset() if SCRs
aren't accessible. sata_promise doesn't need to use separate
error_handlers for PATA and SATA anymore.
* softreset is broken for sata_inic162x and sata_sx4. As libata now
always prefers hardreset, this doesn't really matter but the ops are
forced to NULL using ATA_OP_NULL for documentation purpose.
* pata_hpt374 needs to use different prereset for the first and second
PCI functions. This used to be done by branching from
hpt374_error_handler(). The proper way to do this is to use
separate ops and port_info tables for each function. Converted.

libata lets low level drivers build ata_port_operations table and
register it with libata core layer. This allows low level drivers
high level of flexibility but also burdens them with lots of
boilerplate entries.
This becomes worse for drivers which support related similar
controllers which differ slightly. They share most of the operations
except for a few. However, the driver still needs to list all
operations for each variant. This results in large number of
duplicate entries, which is not only inefficient but also error-prone
as it becomes very difficult to tell what the actual differences are.
This duplicate boilerplates all over the low level drivers also make
updating the core layer exteremely difficult and error-prone. When
compounded with multi-branched development model, it ends up
accumulating inconsistencies over time. Some of those inconsistencies
cause immediate problems and fixed. Others just remain there dormant
making maintenance increasingly difficult.
To rectify the problem, this patch implements ata_port_operations
inheritance. To allow LLDs to easily re-use their own ops tables
overriding only specific methods, this patch implements poor man's
class inheritance. An ops table has ->inherits field which can be set
to any ops table as long as it doesn't create a loop. When the host
is started, the inheritance chain is followed and any operation which
isn't specified is taken from the nearest ancestor which has it
specified. This operation is called finalization and done only once
per an ops table and the LLD doesn't have to do anything special about
it other than making the ops table non-const such that libata can
update it.
libata provides four base ops tables lower drivers can inherit from -
base, sata, pmp, sff and bmdma. To avoid overriding these ops
accidentaly, these ops are declared const and LLDs should always
inherit these instead of using them directly.
After finalization, all the ops table are identical before and after
the patch except for setting .irq_handler to ata_interrupt in drivers
which didn't use to. The .irq_handler doesn't have any actual effect
and the field will soon be removed by later patch.
* sata_sx4 is still using old style EH and currently doesn't take
advantage of ops inheritance.

All sht tables are identical before and after this patch.

Over the time, port info, ops and sht structures developed quite a bit
of inconsistencies. This patch updates drivers.
* Enable/disable_pm callbacks added to all ahci ops tables.
* Every driver for SFF controllers now uses ata_sff_port_start()
instead of ata_port_start() unless the driver has custom
implementation.
* Every driver for SFF controllers now uses ata_pci_default_filter()
unless the driver has custom implementation.
* Removed an odd port_info->sht initialization from ata_piix.c.
Likely a merge byproduct.
* A port which has ATA_FLAG_SATA set doesn't need to set cable_detect
to ata_cable_sata(). Remove it from via and mv port ops.
* Some drivers had unnecessary .max_sectors initialization which is
ignored and was missing .slave_destroy callback. Fixed.
* Removed unnecessary sht initializations port_info's.
* Removed onsolete scsi device suspend/resume callbacks from
pata_bf54x.
* No reason to set ata_pci_default_filter() and bmdma functions for
PIO-only drivers. Remove those callbacks and replace
ata_bmdma_irq_clear with ata_noop_irq_clear.
* pata_platform sets port_start to ata_dummy_ret0. port_start can
just be set to NULL.
* sata_fsl supports NCQ but was missing qc_defer. Fixed.
* pata_rb600_cf implements dummy port_start. Removed.

->irq_clear() is used to clear IRQ bit of a SFF controller and isn't
useful for drivers which don't use libata SFF HSM implementation.
However, it's a required callback and many drivers implement their own
noop version as placeholder. This patch implements ata_noop_irq_clear
and use it to replace those custom placeholders.
Also, SFF drivers which don't support BMDMA don't need to use
ata_bmdma_irq_clear(). It becomes noop if BMDMA address isn't
initialized. Convert them to use ata_noop_irq_clear().
