Increasing the SATA/AHCI DMA TX/RX FIFOs (P0DMACR.TXTS and .RXTS, ie.
TX_TRANSACTION_SIZE and RX_TRANSACTION_SIZE) from default 0x0 each
to 0x3 each, gives a write performance boost of 120 MiB/s to 132 MiB/s
from lame 36 MiB/s to 45 MiB/s previously.
Read performance is above 200 MiB/s.
[tested on SSD using dd bs=4K/8K/12K/16K/20K/24K/32K: peak-perf at 12K]
Tested on the SBCs Banana Pi R1 (aka Lamobo R1) and Banana Pi M1 which
are based on the Allwinner A20 32bit-SoC (ARMv7-a / arm-linux-gnueabihf).
These devices are RaspberryPi-like small devices.
This problem of slow SATA write-speed with these small devices lasts
for about 7 years now (beginning with the A10 SoC). Many commentators
throughout the years wrongly assumed the slow write speed was a
hardware limitation. This patch finally solves the problem, which
in fact was just a hard-to-find software problem due to lack of
SATA/AHCI documentation by the SoC-maker Allwinner Technology.

This patch add the r40 compatible to the ahci_sunxi's supported list of
compatible.
Since R40 need ahci_platform to handle the reset controller, we also add
the new AHCI_PLATFORM_GET_RESETS flag for ahci_platform_get_resources().
This has no consequence for older platform (a10, a20) since the reset is
optional.

Add an extra argument to ahci_platform_get_resources(), that is
for the bitmap representing the resource to get in this function.
Currently there is no resources to be defined, so all the callers set
'0' to the argument.

The owner module reference of the ahci platform's scsi_host is
initialized to libahci_platform's one, because these drivers use a
scsi_host_template defined in libahci_platform. So these drivers can
be unloaded even if the scsi device is being accessed.
This fixes it by pushing the scsi_host_template from libahci_platform
to all leaf drivers. The scsi_host_template is passed through a new
argument of ahci_platform_init_host().

Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.
They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just
removing a line in a structure.
Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are
some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by
the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.
Everything has been in linux-next for a while.

The use of the AHCI_HFLAG_NO_PMP flag is something which we inherited from
the Allwinner android kernel sources, and I've always wanted to test if this
is really necessary.
So recently I've bought a sata port multiplexer, and I've given this a test
spin on both A10 and A20 devices, and it seems to work fine:
[ 2.154456] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[ 2.161092] ata1.15: Port Multiplier 1.2, 0x197b:0x0325 r0, 5 ports, feat 0x5/0xf
[ 2.175511] ata1.00: hard resetting link
[ 2.524929] ata1.00: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 320)
[ 2.531430] ata1.01: hard resetting link
[ 2.974465] ata1.01: link resume succeeded after 1 retries
[ 3.094932] ata1.01: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[ 3.101431] ata1.02: hard resetting link
[ 4.174466] ata1.02: failed to resume link (SControl 0)
[ 4.180065] ata1.02: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 0)
(and the same for links 3 and 4)
Once the NO_PMP flag is removed it correctly sees the 2 disks which I've
attached, and I can mount and use them just fine.
Unfortunately when I then directly attached a disk to the sata port on the
sunxi SoC, and booted a kernel without the AHCI_HFLAG_NO_PMP flag, it would
not recognize that disk.
It turns out that the sata controller in the sunxi SoCs fails to handle
soft-resets issued to directly attached disks, and when pmp support is
enabled the kernel will always issue a soft-reset.
So add a module parameter to enable pmp usage, and default this to off, so
that directly attached disks keep working normally.

This patch moves force_port_map and mask_port_map into the
ahci_host_priv structure. This allows to modify them into the AHCI
framework. This is needed by the new dt bindings representing ports as
the port_map mask is computed automatically.
Parameters modifying force_port_map, mask_port_map and flags have been
removed from the ahci_platform_init_host() function, and inputs in the
ahci_host_priv structure are now directly filed.

Add a dynamic host_flags argument to make ahci_platform_init_host more flexible,
then remove the AHCI_HFLAGS(...) argument from some driver's ata_port_info,
and pass that in as the new argument.

This patch adds support for the ahci sata controler found on Allwinner A10
and A20 SoCs to the ahci_platform driver.
Orignally written by Olliver Schinagl using the approach of having a platform
device which probe method creates a new child platform device which gets
driven by ahci_platform.c, as done by ahci_imx.c .
Refactored by Hans de Goede to add most of the non sunxi specific functionality
to ahci_platform.c and use a platform_data pointer from of_device_id for the
sunxi specific bits.
