Subject: [PATCH Resend] ahci: Acer SA5-271 SSD Not Detected Fix
Date: Tue, 9 May 2017 07:47:22 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <086b549a-e2ec-58c4-42af-c5b5e23f67a7@gmail.com> (raw)
(Correction in this resend: fixed function name acer_sa5_271_workaround; fixed
the always-true condition in the function; fixed description.)
On the Acer Switch Alpha 12 (model number: SA5-271), the internal SSD may not
get detected because the port_map and CAP.nr_ports combination causes the driver
to skip the port that is actually connected to the SSD. More specifically,
either all SATA ports are identified as DUMMY, or all ports get ``link down''
and never get up again.
This problem occurs occasionally. When this problem occurs, CAP may hold a
value of 0xC734FF00 or 0xC734FF01 and port_map may hold a value of 0x00 or 0x01.
When this problem does not occur, CAP holds a value of 0xC734FF02 and port_map
may hold a value of 0x07. Overriding the CAP value to 0xC734FF02 and port_map to
0x7 significantly reduces the occurrence of this problem.
