When sata_promise detects an error, it resets the port and triggers EH. This is how it has always done things. New-style EH however appears to prefer (based on ahci and sata_sil24) error detection to just freeze the port or otherwise render it harmless, and for the reset to be delayed until EH runs. This patch updates sata_promise EH according to this principle. When an error is detected in pdc_error_intr, the port is frozen but not reset. Later in the error handler, the prereset procedure performs the necessary Promise-specific reset of the port. Notes: - Since pdc_error_intr no longer resets the port, ata_do_eh() can do its error analysis on the current register contents, so pdc_error_intr doesn't need to copy SCR_ERROR to ehi->serror. - The reset is done in prereset since that is the one point that (a) comes after libata's error analysis, and (b) dominates (in a control-flow sense) all subsequent reset parts of EH. Tested on SATA300 TX4, SATA300 TX2plus, SATAII-150 TX2plus, SATA150 TX2plus, and TX4000.
