Unconditional use of unexpect_irq() here seems incorrect for some cases,
such as sata_mv's use, where ata_qc_complete() is called multiple times
rather than a singleton ata_qc_complete_multiple() call.
Indeed, sata_mv is calling ata_qc_complete() directly multiple times.
I still think calling unexpect_irq() from ata_qc_complete() is correct
as ata_qc_complete() is always a good indicator of completion events.
My basic point is that you are implicitly changing the entire
ata_qc_complete() API, and associated underlying assumptions.
The existing assumption, since libata day #0, is that ata_qc_complete()
works entirely within the scope of a single qc -- thus enabling multiple
calls for a single controller interrupt. Your change greatly widens the
scope to an entire port.
This isn't just an issue with sata_mv, that was just the easy example I
remember off the top of my head. sata_fsl and sata_nv also make the
same assumption. And it's a reasonable assumption, IMO.
I think an unexpect_irq() call is more appropriate outside
ata_qc_complete().
