Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ahci: add AHCI_HFLAG_STRICT_SPEC host flag
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:09:21 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1329768563-13715-2-git-send-email-computersforpeace@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1329768563-13715-1-git-send-email-computersforpeace@gmail.com>

The following commit was intended to fix problems with some specific AHCI
platforms that would become bricks if the AHCI specification was not
followed strictly:

    commit 7faa33da9b7add01db9f1ad92c6a5d9145e940a7
    ahci: start engine only during soft/hard resets

However, some devices currently have issues with that fix, so we must
implement a flag that enables the fix only for specific controllers.

This commit simply introduces the flag, without enabling it in any driver.

Note that even when AHCI_HFLAG_STRICT_SPEC is not set, this patch does not
constitue a full revert to commit 7faa33da; there is still a change in
behavior to the ahci_port_suspend() failure path.
