Please don't get confused with the other thread about clocks.
This issue sets the "disable IP" bit, found by doing stupid
experiments to enable S0ix on E200HA.

Ah my bad.

Oh, perhaps I also need to refresh my memory from that buglink.

1. no idea if Cherry Trail even has SATA IP, maybe this is a
     meaningless bit but PMC firmware carried over from
     Bay Trail looks at it


There are no CHT SoCs with SATA AFAIK, but Braswell SoCs,
which I believe is the same die do have SATA.

I think the best fix here is to look at the model-string part
of the CPU-id and do a quirk based on that, setting the "disable IP"
bit for the SATA on all SoC models known to not have SATA
(Z8300, Z8350, Z8500, Z8550, Z8700, Z8750).

Rafael, Andy how does that sound as a solution?

Yeah, that bit is a property of PMC microcontroller and thus belongs to
its driver in Linux kernel.

To make it strict we need a matching property. AFAIR CPU model ID is all
the same for all CHT and BSW SoCs, so, can't be used to distinguish
them. So, you are thinking about comparing CPU model name then?

Yes CPU model name.

It might work. However, SATA itself is a part of PCH, and thus can not
exactly be matched by CPU ID.

AFAIK the PCH is integrated, at least with the Z83xx Z85xx and X87xx
models.

So using a CPU model name match seems a better solution to me
then DMI product-name matching, as the CPU model name match should
fix this for all devices with such a SoC.

Btw, Pentium Celeron N-series according to spec has SATA host.

Right as I said the Braswell models do have SATA.

Hans
