<id>urn:sha1:9dd30d194e2e83be4e14d7b4bdf21087f389318b</id>
<content type='text'>
commit c531077f40abc9f2129c4c83a30b3f8d6ce1c0e7 upstream.

When using my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex eSATAp external disk enclosure,
interface errors are always seen until 1.5Gbps is negotiated [1]. This
occurs using any disk in the enclosure, and when the disk is connected
directly with a generic passive eSATAp cable, we see stable 3Gbps
operation as expected.

Blacklist 3Gbps mode to avoid dataloss and the ~30s delay bus reset
and renegotiation incurs.

<title>ata_piix: defer disks to the Hyper-V drivers by default</title>

commit cd006086fa5d91414d8ff9ff2b78fbb593878e3c upstream.

When we are hosted on a Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor the guest disks
are exposed both via the Hyper-V paravirtualised drivers and via an
emulated SATA disk drive.  In this case we want to use the paravirtualised
drivers if we can as they are much more efficient.  Note that the Hyper-V
paravirtualised drivers only expose the virtual hard disk devices, the
CDROM/DVD devices must still be enumerated.

Mark the host controller ATA_HOST_IGNORE_ATA to prevent enumeration of
disk devices.

commit db63a4c8115a0bb904496e1cdd3e7488e68b0d06 upstream.

Where devices are visible via more than one host we sometimes wish to
indicate that cirtain devices should be ignored on a specific host.  Add a
host flag indicating that this host wishes to ignore ATA specific devices.

Pull libata fixes from Jeff Garzik:

1) Fix regression that could cause a misdiagnosis, which in turn could
   lead to an erroneous 3.0 Gbps -&gt; 1.5 downshift, particularly when hotplug
   and suspend/resume is involved.

2) Fix a regression that led to ata%d controller ids being numbered one
   larger than in &lt;= 3.4-rc3 (oh, the horror!).  Controller ids should now be
   as expected.

3) add some DT, PCI id's

4) ata/pata_arasan_cf: minor cpp fixing/cleaning

SPEAr13xx series of SoCs contain Synopsys AHCI SATA Controller which shares
ahci_platform driver with other controller versions.

This patch updates DT compatible list for ahci_platform. It also updates and
renames binding documentation to more generic name.

#ifdef, #endif is not required in definition/usage of arasan_cf_pm_ops. So, move
this definition and its usage outside of them.

When comparing the dmesg between 3.4-rc3 and 3.4-rc4 I found the
following differences:

 -ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff100 irq 47
 -ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff180 irq 47
 -ata3: DUMMY
 +ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff100 irq 47
 +ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff180 irq 47
  ata4: DUMMY
  ata5: DUMMY
 -ata6: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff380 irq 47
 +ata6: DUMMY
 +ata7: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m2048@0xf9fff000 port 0xf9fff380 irq 47

The change of numbering comes from commit 85d6725b7c0d7e3f ("libata:
make ata_print_id atomic") that changed lines like

	ap-&gt;print_id = ata_print_id++;
		to
	ap-&gt;print_id = atomic_inc_return(&amp;ata_print_id);

As the latter behaves like ++ata_print_id, we must initialize
it to zero to start the numbering from one.

The Marvell 88SE9172 SATA controller (PCI ID 1b4b 917a) already worked
once it was detected, but was missing an ahci_pci_tbl entry.

Boot tested on a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard.

Commit d902747("[libata] Add ATA transport class") introduced
ATA_EFLAG_OLD_ER to mark entries in the error ring as cleared.

But ata_count_probe_trials_cb() didn't check this flag and it still
counts the old error history. So wrong probe trials count is returned
and it causes problem, for example, SATA link speed is slowed down from
3.0Gbps to 1.5Gbps.

Fix it by checking ATA_EFLAG_OLD_ER in ata_count_probe_trials_cb().
