1) Contra the patch description (quoted above), you are enabling SATA_DEVSLP on the device regardless of power policy or host controller support.
I'm not sure about the ata_dev_configure() change. If the power policy is not enabling aggressive sleep, we should not send this command to the device.
2) If we are going to unconditionally add ATA_SECT_SIZE bytes to every ata_device structure, let's at least move the ata_read_log_page() call outside of the devslp test, so that others may have this information even if the device does not support devslp.
3) please define constants in linux/ata.h for sata_settings information, rather than using hexidecimal constants ("magic numbers").
4) is it wise to issue SET_FEATURES / SATA_DEVSLP prior to programming the host controller? that order seems wrong.
