$ git grep ata_print_id
drivers/ata/libata-core.c:atomic_t ata_print_id = ATOMIC_INIT(0);
drivers/ata/libata-core.c:              host->ports[i]->print_id = atomic_inc_return(&ata_print_id);
drivers/ata/libata-sata.c:      ap->print_id = atomic_inc_return(&ata_print_id);
drivers/ata/libata.h:extern atomic_t ata_print_id;

It seems to be defined and used only in libata, while I agree that the function
is a bit silly, with my limited knowledge of how the linker works, moving it to
libsas seems a bit dangerous...

You can build libata as a module and libsas as built-in, and vice versa...

Also, since there are no direct users in libsas, I'd rather keep it in libata.

Agreed, I will move it to the previous patch, so we also avoid the null
pointer dereference in the previous patch.

Yes, that would be a small optimization, but I would consider such
a change outside the scope of this series.


Kind regards,
