Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y] ata: Fix SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY description in Kconfig
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 12:52:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821165224.842834-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Damien Le Moal <dlemoal@kernel.org>
[ Upstream commit ed62a62a18bc144f73eadf866ae46842e8f6606e ]
Improve the description of the possible default SATA link power
management policies and add the missing description for policy 5.
No functional changes.
Fixes: a5ec5a7bfd1f ("ata: ahci: Support state with min power but Partial low power state")

chipsets are typically found on most laptops but desktops and
servers now also widely use chipsets supporting low power modes.
- The value set has the following meanings:
+ Each policy combines power saving states and features:
+ - Partial: The Phy logic is powered but is in a reduced power
+ state. The exit latency from this state is no longer than
+ 10us).
+ - Slumber: The Phy logic is powered but is in an even lower power
+ state. The exit latency from this state is potentially
+ longer, but no longer than 10ms.
+ - DevSleep: The Phy logic may be powered down. The exit latency from
+ this state is no longer than 20 ms, unless otherwise
+ specified by DETO in the device Identify Device Data log.
+ - HIPM: Host Initiated Power Management (host automatically
+ transitions to partial and slumber).
+ - DIPM: Device Initiated Power Management (device automatically
+ transitions to partial and slumber).
+
+ The possible values for the default SATA link power management
+ policies are:
0 => Keep firmware settings
- 1 => Maximum performance
- 2 => Medium power
- 3 => Medium power with Device Initiated PM enabled
- 4 => Minimum power
-
- Note "Minimum power" is known to cause issues, including disk
- corruption, with some disks and should not be used.
+ 1 => No power savings (maximum performance)
+ 2 => HIPM (Partial)
+ 3 => HIPM (Partial) and DIPM (Partial and Slumber)
+ 4 => HIPM (Partial and DevSleep) and DIPM (Partial and Slumber)
+ 5 => HIPM (Slumber and DevSleep) and DIPM (Partial and Slumber)
+
+ Excluding the value 0, higher values represent policies with higher
+ power savings.
