sis_scr_cfg_read() can't access SError and was incorrectly returning
-1 instead of -EINVAL.  This went unnoticed because SError used to be
cleared in @postreset() and it didn't care about how scr_read() failed
but commit ac371987 moved SError clearing into sata_link_resume() and
SCR access failure other than -EINVAL is considered an error condition
and exposes the incorrect return value bug as detection failure.  Fix
it.

Also, scsi_scr_cfg_write() was incorrectly returning 0 after it
ignored the request to write to SError.  Make it also return -EINVAL.

This was bisected and reported by Patrick McHardy.

SFF functions have confusing names.  Some have sff prefix, some have
bmdma, some std, some pci and some none.  Unify the naming by...

* SFF functions which are common to both BMDMA and non-BMDMA are
  prefixed with ata_sff_.

* SFF functions which are specific to BMDMA are prefixed with
  ata_bmdma_.

* SFF functions which are specific to PCI but apply to both BMDMA and
  non-BMDMA are prefixed with ata_pci_sff_.

* SFF functions which are specific to PCI and BMDMA are prefixed with
  ata_pci_bmdma_.

* Drop generic prefixes from LLD specific routines.  For example,
  bfin_std_dev_select -&gt; bfin_dev_select.

The following renames are noteworthy.

  ata_qc_issue_prot() -&gt; ata_sff_qc_issue()
  ata_pci_default_filter() -&gt; ata_bmdma_mode_filter()
  ata_dev_try_classify() -&gt; ata_sff_dev_classify()

This rename is in preparation of separating SFF support out of libata
core layer.  This patch strictly renames functions and doesn't
introduce any behavior difference.

<title>libata: implement and use ops inheritance</title>

libata lets low level drivers build ata_port_operations table and
register it with libata core layer.  This allows low level drivers
high level of flexibility but also burdens them with lots of
boilerplate entries.

This becomes worse for drivers which support related similar
controllers which differ slightly.  They share most of the operations
except for a few.  However, the driver still needs to list all
operations for each variant.  This results in large number of
duplicate entries, which is not only inefficient but also error-prone
as it becomes very difficult to tell what the actual differences are.

This duplicate boilerplates all over the low level drivers also make
updating the core layer exteremely difficult and error-prone.  When
compounded with multi-branched development model, it ends up
accumulating inconsistencies over time.  Some of those inconsistencies
cause immediate problems and fixed.  Others just remain there dormant
making maintenance increasingly difficult.

To rectify the problem, this patch implements ata_port_operations
inheritance.  To allow LLDs to easily re-use their own ops tables
overriding only specific methods, this patch implements poor man's
class inheritance.  An ops table has -&gt;inherits field which can be set
to any ops table as long as it doesn't create a loop.  When the host
is started, the inheritance chain is followed and any operation which
isn't specified is taken from the nearest ancestor which has it
specified.  This operation is called finalization and done only once
per an ops table and the LLD doesn't have to do anything special about
it other than making the ops table non-const such that libata can
update it.

libata provides four base ops tables lower drivers can inherit from -
base, sata, pmp, sff and bmdma.  To avoid overriding these ops
accidentaly, these ops are declared const and LLDs should always
inherit these instead of using them directly.

After finalization, all the ops table are identical before and after
the patch except for setting .irq_handler to ata_interrupt in drivers
which didn't use to.  The .irq_handler doesn't have any actual effect
and the field will soon be removed by later patch.

* sata_sx4 is still using old style EH and currently doesn't take
  advantage of ops inheritance.

libata lets low level drivers build scsi_host_template and register it
to the SCSI layer.  This allows low level drivers high level of
flexibility but also burdens them with lots of boilerplate entries.

This patch implements SHT initializers which can be used to initialize
all the boilerplate entries in a sht.  Three variants of them are
implemented - BASE, BMDMA and NCQ - for different types of drivers.
Note that entries can be overriden by putting individual initializers
after the helper macro.

All sht tables are identical before and after this patch.

Over the time, port info, ops and sht structures developed quite a bit
of inconsistencies.  This patch updates drivers.

* Enable/disable_pm callbacks added to all ahci ops tables.

* Every driver for SFF controllers now uses ata_sff_port_start()
  instead of ata_port_start() unless the driver has custom
  implementation.

* Every driver for SFF controllers now uses ata_pci_default_filter()
  unless the driver has custom implementation.

* Removed an odd port_info-&gt;sht initialization from ata_piix.c.
  Likely a merge byproduct.

* A port which has ATA_FLAG_SATA set doesn't need to set cable_detect
  to ata_cable_sata().  Remove it from via and mv port ops.

* Some drivers had unnecessary .max_sectors initialization which is
  ignored and was missing .slave_destroy callback.  Fixed.

* Removed unnecessary sht initializations port_info's.

* Removed onsolete scsi device suspend/resume callbacks from
  pata_bf54x.

* No reason to set ata_pci_default_filter() and bmdma functions for
  PIO-only drivers.  Remove those callbacks and replace
  ata_bmdma_irq_clear with ata_noop_irq_clear.

* pata_platform sets port_start to ata_dummy_ret0.  port_start can
  just be set to NULL.

* sata_fsl supports NCQ but was missing qc_defer.  Fixed.

* pata_rb600_cf implements dummy port_start.  Removed.

  performs... chk-status + irq-clear.  Furthermore, it is only
  called in one place, when screaming-irq-debugging is enabled,
