[ 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.

Select the Default SATA Link Power Management (LPM) policy to use
for mobile / laptop variants of chipsets / "South Bridges".
- 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.
