Improve ata_bus_probe() such that configuration failures are handled better. Each device is given ATA_PROBE_MAX_TRIES chances, but any non-transient error (revalidation failure with -ENODEV, configuration failure with -EINVAL...) disables the device directly. Any IO error results in SATA PHY speed down and ata_set_mode() failure lowers transfer mode. The last try always puts a device into PIO-0. After each failure, the whole port is reset to make sure that the controller and all the devices are in a known and stable state. The reset also applies SATA SPD configuration if necessary.
