Took me a bit longer to find such one since you are not doing much
patches any longer. ;)

I prefer using common sense over black-and-white rules.

If patch is a _really_ tiny one (< 20 LOC changed) it sometimes makes
sense to save the time on handling separate patches.

Subject: [PATCH] [libata] sata_mv: Fix and clean up per-chip-generation tests

Due to a mistake in test logic, Gen-IIE chips were being treated as
Gen-II chips in some cases.  Fix this, and in the process, clean up
IS_50XX/IS_60XX tests to the more uniform IS_GEN_{I,II,IIE} tests.
