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: 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.
