Hellooo.
This is part of patchset series described in [T].
This is the first take of implement-ata_link patchset. This patchset
contains 14 patches which can be categorized as follows.
#01 : prep
#02-03: implement ata_link
#04-06: make parts of libata deal with link instead of port
#07-09: misc link stuff (link init, reset_tries, ata_link_abort())
#10-14: add ap->pm_link[] and update parts of libata to deal with
multiple links
ata_link abstracts PHY and sits between ata_port and ata_device. The
following attributes are moved to ata_link from ata_port.
- active command state (active_tag, sactive)
- [hw_]sata_spd_limit
- eh_info and eh_context
- device array
With above and a few extra fields, a link can fully host attached
devices including qc management and EH/hotplug. This patchset makes
libata ready to handle PM links.
