<title>ahci: add AHCI_HFLAG_DELAY_ENGINE host flag</title>

The following commit was intended to fix problems with specific AHCI
controller(s) that would become bricks if the AHCI specification was not
followed strictly (that is, if ahci_start_engine() was called while the
controller was in the wrong state):

    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 delays the ahci_start_engine() call only for specific
controllers.

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

Note that even when AHCI_HFLAG_DELAY_ENGINE is not enabled, 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.

This is another attempt at fixing the same problem that 270dac35c2
(libata: ahci_start_engine compliant to AHCI spec) tried to solve.
Unfortunately, 270dac35c2 created regressions for a lot more common
controllers and got reverted.

This specific AHCI IP block becomes a brick if the DMA engine is
started while DRQ is set.  It is not possible to avoid the condition
completely but the most common occurrence is caused by spurious use of
ahci_start_engine() from ahci_start_port() during init sequence.

DMA engine is started after both soft and hard resets and
ahci_start_port() is always followed by resets, so there is no reason
to start DMA engine from ahci_start_port().

This patch removes ahci_start_engine() invocation from
ahci_start_port().  This change makes failure path of
ahci_port_suspend() leave engine stopped without following resets.
This is resolved by replacing ahci_start_port() call with
ata_port_freeze() which forces resets afterwards, which is the better
behavior anyway.

Saves text by removing nearly duplicated text format strings by
creating ata_&lt;foo&gt;_printk functions and printf extension %pV.

ata defconfig size shrinks ~5% (~8KB), allyesconfig ~2.5% (~13KB)

Format string duplication comes from:

 #define ata_link_printk(link, lv, fmt, args...) do { \
       if (sata_pmp_attached((link)-&gt;ap) || (link)-&gt;ap-&gt;slave_link)    \
               printk("%sata%u.%02u: "fmt, lv, (link)-&gt;ap-&gt;print_id,   \
                      (link)-&gt;pmp , ##args); \
       else \
               printk("%sata%u: "fmt, lv, (link)-&gt;ap-&gt;print_id , ##args); \
       } while(0)

<title>ahci: change 'masking port_map' printk to KERN_WARNING level</title>

It's not so much an error as a warning about normal Marvell crazines.
So don't use KERN_ERR that ends up spamming the console even in quiet
mode, it's not _that_ critical.

Explained by Jeff:

 "Long explanation, it's a mess:

  Marvell took standard AHCI, and bastardized it to include a weird mode
  whereby PATA devices appear inside the AHCI DMA and interrupt
  infrastructure you're familiar with.

  So, PATA devices appear via pata_marvell driver, using basic legacy
  IDE programming interface.  But SATA devices, which might also be
  attached to this chip, either work in under-performing mode or
  simply don't work at all (e.g.  newer 6 Gbps devices or port
  multiplier attachments, NCQ, ...)

  On the other hand, 'ahci' driver loads and works with the chip's
  attached SATA devices quite beautifully, but is completely unable to
  drive any attached PATA devices, due to the Marvell-specific
  PATA-under-AHCI interface.

  The "masking port_map 0x7 -&gt; 0x3" message is the ahci driver "hiding"
  the PATA port(s) from itself, making sure it will only drive the SATA
  ports it knows how to drive."

This reverts commit 270dac35c26433d06a89150c51e75ca0181ca7e4.

The commits causes command timeouts on AC plug/unplug.  It isn't yet
clear why.  As the commit was for a single rather obscure controller,
revert the change for now.

The problem was reported and bisected by Gu Rui in bug#34692.

At the end of section 10.1 of AHCI spec (rev 1.3), it states

Software shall not set PxCMD.ST to 1 until it is determined that
a functoinal device is present on the port as determined by
PxTFD.STS.BSY=0, PxTFD.STS.DRQ=0 and PxSSTS.DET=3h

Even though most AHCI host controller works without this check,
specific controller will fail under this condition.

The ahci_pmp_attach() &amp; ahci_pmp_detach() unmask port irqs, but they
are also called during port initialization, before ahci host irq
handler is registered. On ce4100 platform, this sometimes triggers
"irq 4: nobody cared" message when loading driver.

Fixed this by not touching the register if the port is in frozen
state, and mark all uninitialized port as frozen.
