Subject: ahci: disabled FBS prior to issuing software reset

From: xiangliang yu <yxlraid@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 89dafa20f3daab5b3e0c13d0068a28e8e64e2102 upstream.

Tested with Marvell 88se9125, attached with one port mulitplier(5 ports)
and one disk, we will get following boot log messages if using current
code:

  ata8: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 330)
  ata8.15: Port Multiplier 1.2, 0x1b4b:0x9715 r160, 5 ports, feat 0x1/0x1f

  ata8.15: Port Multiplier vendor mismatch '0x1b4b' != '0x133'

  ata8.15: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 320)
  ata8.15: Port Multiplier vendor mismatch '0x1b4b' != '0x133'
  ata8.15: PMP revalidation failed (errno=-19)
  ata8.15: failed to recover PMP after 5 tries, giving up
  ata8.15: Port Multiplier detaching
  ata8.03: disabled
  ata8.00: disabled
  ata8: EH complete

The reason is that current detection code doesn't follow AHCI spec:

First,the port multiplier detection process look like this:

	ahci_hardreset(link, class, deadline)
	if (class == ATA_DEV_PMP) {
		sata_pmp_attach(dev)	/* will enable FBS */
		sata_pmp_init_links(ap, nr_ports);
		ata_for_each_link(link, ap, EDGE) {
			sata_std_hardreset(link, class, deadline);
			if (link_is_online)	/* do soft reset */
				ahci_softreset(link, class, deadline);
		}
	}
But, according to chapter 9.3.9 in AHCI spec: Prior to issuing software
reset, software shall clear PxCMD.ST to '0' and then clear PxFBS.EN to
'0'.

The patch test ok with kernel 3.11.1.

tj: Patch white space contaminated, applied manually with trivial
    updates.
