SATA device is not going to DEVSLP

[AceLan Kao]

[Impact]
Any of the platforms we’ve been seeing SATA problems not going to deepest state leads to other devices not getting there during long idle or s2idle. And it also prevents the system from entering deeper PC state other than PC3.

[Fix]
Suggested from Intel and Dell to contains the following 4 commits,
and all of 4 commits are in v4.19-rc1
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10502285/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10502287/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10535781/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10535783/

[Test]
Verified the power consumption on some new platforms, it improves the SATA HDD power consumption around 0.5w during long idle.

[Regression Potential]
Low, the DEVSLP function is already validated when shipped with SLP_S0
support.

[Mario Limonciello (superm1)]

The first 2 I have no concerns, but would like to see a tested-by submitted back to that patch to encourage it to land upstream.

The third patch, there has been a second submission (and will likely be a 3rd based on feedback).
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10522375/

Conceptually I have no concern with the 3rd patch but just please track to make sure the right policy does get adopted from it.

[AceLan Kao (acelankao)]

I replied the patches and add Tested-by in the email.

BTW, for the SRU, I'll split this SRU into 2, submit the first 2 commits first and wait the final result of the third one and submit another SRU for it.

The third patch split into 2 new commits

New test kernel could be found here
http://people.canonical.com/~acelan/bugs/lp1779984/

0001-ata-ahci-Support-state-with-min-power-but-Partial-lo.patch
0002-ata-ahci-Enable-DEVSLP-by-default-on-x86-with-SLP_S0.patch
0003-ata-libahci-Correct-setting-of-DEVSLP-register.patch
0004-ata-libahci-Allow-reconfigure-of-DEVSLP-register.patch

We'll check if those commits help the power consumption.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-done-bionic'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-bionic' to 'verification-failed-bionic'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.
