AMD requires that the SATA controller be configured for devsleep in order
for S0i3 entry to work properly.
commit b1a9585cc396 ("ata: ahci: Enable DEVSLP by default on x86 with
SLP_S0") sets up a kernel policy to enable devsleep on Intel mobile
platforms that are using s0ix. Add the PCI ID for the SATA controller in
Green Sardine platforms to extend this policy by default for AMD based
systems using s0i3 as well.

Aren't 0x7900 and 0x7901 the same device only in different modes? I
wonder, why different boards and different comments are used.
No they aren't the same device in different modes.
Reference:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/tech-docs/processor-programming-reference-ppr-for-amd-family-19h-model-51h-revision-a1
Page 33 has a table.
That table misses 0x7900h. (Where can I find it?) coreboot has 0x7900 defined for Cezanne:
src/include/device/pci_ids.h:#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_CZ_SATA 0x7900
src/soc/amd/stoneyridge/include/soc/pci_devs.h: * SATA_IDE_IDEVID 0x7900
The PCI database too [3]:
FCH SATA Controller [IDE mode]
Additionally, the device 0x7901 is also present in desktop systems like
Dell OptiPlex 5055 and MSI B350 MORTAR. Is `board_ahci_mobile` the right
board then? Or should the flag `AHCI_HFLAG_IS_MOBILE` be renamed to
avoid confusion?
Are you having a problem or just want clarity in the enum definition?
It’s more about clarity, and understanding the two different entries.
This was introduced by Hans in commit ebb82e3c79d2a to set LPM policy properly
for a number of mobile devices.
My opinion here is that the policy being for "mobile" devices only is short sighted as power
consumption policy on desktops is also relevant as OEMs ship desktops that need to meet
various power regulations for those too.
So I would be in the camp for renaming the flags.
Why can’t the LPM policy, if available(?), not be set for `board_ahci` by default, so `board_ahci_mobile` could be removed?
When I added this, which was around the Haswell / Broadwell times, enabling
LPM on mobile devices was not so much important for the direct power-saving,
but to allow the entire package (integrated southbridge-ish) to go to deeper
sleep (aka PC) states.
Without this laptops would drain their batteries much faster, but at the same
time there were reports of LPM causing crashes and data corruption on some
systems, also see the list of ATA ids with a ATA_HORKAGE_NOLPM flag in
drivers/ata/libata-core.c . Which was added and grown over time to allow
enabling LPM by default without causing regressions.
This seems to be related to the hard driver though, and not the chipset?
So when adding support for enabling LPM modes by default, to get the
desired power-savings by default I tried to do this on a minimal set of
devices, to avoid causing regressions.
Another factor here is that in some cases LPM related issues went away
after either BIOS or disk/ssd firmware updates. So the motherboard firmware
is also a factor here and enabling LPM by default on non laptop(ish)
motherboards has never been tested.
Also enabling some of the deeper LPM modes comes at a latency cost which
may be undesirable at servers. Note this just sets the initial default
LPM mode, this can always be changed by userspace later.
Thank you for the elaborate explanation. What do you suggest in regards
the 1022:7901, present in laptops and desktop systems?
/* AMD is using RAID class only for ahci controllers */
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_AMD, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID,
PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_RAID << 8, 0xffffff, board_ahci },
Kind regards,
Paul
