[PATCH 6/6] libata: don't configure downstream links faster than the upstream link

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There's nothing to be gained by configuring downstream links faster
than the upstream link and such configurations cause problems on
certain PMPs.  Limit downstream link speed by the upstream link speed.
