failures due to "libata: disable forced PORTS_IMPL for >= AHCI 1.3 patch"

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

 



Hi Tejun,

Its bit late but just found that commit 566d18 "libata: disable forced PORTS_IMPL for >= AHCI 1.3" is breaking AHCI on Qualcomm APQ8064 platforms in the mainline kernel (arch/arm/boot/dts/qcom-apq8064.dtsi).

This platform uses "generic-ahci" platform driver and reports AHCI version as 0x10300, and PORTS_IMPL is never set, so the existing workaround was correct for this platform, however the latest patch broken this.

There are few ways to fix this issue,

1> Add new compatible string to achi_platform driver so that this platform can force the port_map,

Or

2> Have a generic dt binding to force the port map.

I would like to know if you have plans to fix this in any other better way? Below patch fixes issue for me, will split the patches once we agree if this is the correct direction to fix it.
