  ata: ahci_xgene: Use int type for 'rc' to store error codes (2025-08-28 13:36:14 +0900)

----------------------------------------------------------------
ata fixes for 6.17-rc4

 - Fix the type of return values to be signed in the ahci_xgen driver
   (Qianfeng).

 - Add the mask_port_ext module parameter to the ahci driver. This is to
   allow a user to ignore ports that are advertized as external (hotplug
   capable) in favor of lower link power management policies instead of
   the default max_performance for these ports. This is useful to allow
   e.g. laptops to go into low power states when hooked up to docking
   station with sata slots, connected with an external port for hotplug
   (me).
