Separate out ata_dev_read_id() from ata_dev_identify().  This is the
first half of splitting ata_dev_identify().  ata_dev_read_id() will
also be used for revalidation.  This patch does not make any behavior
change.

ata_dev_read_id() doesn't modify any of libata-internal data
structures.  It simply reads IDENTIFY page and returns error code on
failure.  INIT_DEV_PARAMS and EDD wrong class code are also handled by
this function.

Re-reading IDENTIFY after INIT_DEV_PARAMS is performed by jumping to
retry: instead of calling ata_dev_reread_id().  This is done because
1. there's retry label anyway 2. ata_dev_reread_id() cannot be used
anywhere else so there's no reason to keep it.

This function is probably the place to set transfer mode to PIO0
before IDENTIFY.  However, reset -> identify -> init_dev_params order
should be kept for pre-ATA4 devices so we cannot set transfer mode
before IDENTIFY for them.  How do we know if a device is post-ATA4
before IDENTIFY?

applied 1-2, will get to the rest a bit later, after other work and some testing of this work.

Hello, Jeff.

How is this going? Just checking as it's been more than a week.
