Subject: [PATCH] ata: Fix SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY description in Kconfig

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 chipsets / "South Bridges" supporting low-power modes. Such
 	  chipsets are ubiquitous across laptops, desktops and servers.
+	  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 value set has the following meanings:
+	  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
+		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)
 
-	  Note "Minimum power" is known to cause issues, including disk
-	  corruption, with some disks and should not be used.
+	  Excluding the value 0, higher values represent policies with higher
+	  power savings.
