ata: libata: Fix sata_down_spd_limit() when no link speed is reported
[ Upstream commit 69f2c9346313ba3d3dfa4091ff99df26c67c9021 ]
Commit 2dc0b46b5ea3 ("libata: sata_down_spd_limit should return if
driver has not recorded sstatus speed") changed the behavior of
sata_down_spd_limit() to return doing nothing if a drive does not report
a current link speed, to avoid reducing the link speed to the lowest 1.5
Gbps speed.
However, the change assumed that a speed was recorded before probing
(e.g. before a suspend/resume) and set in link->sata_spd. This causes
problems with adapters/drives combination failing to establish a link
speed during probe autonegotiation. One example reported of this problem
is an mvebu adapter with a 3Gbps port-multiplier box: autonegotiation
fails, leaving no recorded link speed and no reported current link
speed. Probe retries also fail as no action is taken by sata_set_spd()
after each retry.
Fix this by returning early in sata_down_spd_limit() only if we do have
a recorded link speed, that is, if link->sata_spd is not 0. With this
fix, a failed probe not leading to a recorded link speed is retried at
the lower 1.5 Gbps speed, with the link speed potentially increased
later on the second revalidate of the device if the device reports
that it supports higher link speeds.
