3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit 1871ee134b73fb4cadab75752a7152ed2813c751 upstream.
The sata on fsl mpc8315e is broken after the commit 8a4aeec8d2d6
("libata/ahci: accommodate tag ordered controllers"). The reason is
that the ata controller on this SoC only implement a queue depth of
16. When issuing the commands in tag order, all the commands in tag
16 ~ 31 are mapped to tag 0 unconditionally and then causes the sata
malfunction. It makes no senses to use a 32 queue in software while
the hardware has less queue depth. So consider the queue depth
implemented by the hardware when requesting a command tag.

As you have added this to 3.12 branch, you also need to add this to
avoid SAS breakage:

libata: introduce ata_host->n_tags to avoid oops on SAS controllers
1871ee134b73 ("libata: support the ata host which implements a queue
depth less than 32") directly used ata_port->scsi_host->can_queue from
ata_qc_new() to determine the number of tags supported by the host;
unfortunately, SAS controllers doing SATA don't initialize ->scsi_host
leading to the following oops.
