Niklas Cassel f7e722acdb ata: ahci: Do not read the per port area for unimplemented ports 
[ Upstream commit ea4d4ea6d1 ]

An AHCI HBA specifies the number of ports it supports using CAP.NP.
The HBA is free to only make a subset of the number of ports available
using the PI (Ports Implemented) register.

libata currently creates dummy ports for HBA ports that are provided by
the HBA, but which are marked as "unavailable" using the PI register.

Each port will have a per port area of registers in the HBA, regardless
if the port is marked as "unavailable" or not.

ahci_mark_external_port() currently reads this per port area of registers
using readl() to see if the port is marked as external/hotplug-capable.

However, AHCI 1.3.1, section "3.1.4 Offset 0Ch: PI – Ports Implemented"
states: "Software must not read or write to registers within unavailable
ports."

Thus, make sure that we only call ahci_mark_external_port() and
ahci_update_initial_lpm_policy() for ports that are implemented.

From a libata perspective, this should not change anything related to LPM,
as dummy ports do not provide any ap->ops (they do not have a .set_lpm()
callback), so even if EH were to call .set_lpm() on a dummy port, it was
already a no-op.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
