Those are not command set protocols, they are _transport_
protocols (specific to the SAS interconnect).  (Command Set
Protocols are things like SBC, RBC, MMC, etc, i.e. ``above''
SAM-3/SPC-3.)

STP talks to the ATA application layer (IDE layer).
Its only (business-political) purpose is to allow SATA
over the SAS interconnect.

Overall, that'd be one complicated LLDD if it supported all three...
