Comment 15 for bug 1783906

Hi Joe,

The original intent of the patch was not forcing a 6Gbs drive down to 1.5Gbs after hotplug.

Noting,

SSTATUS = 275 = 0x113 = 0001 0001 0011

That corresponds to ACTIVE PM STATE | GEN1 SPEED | DEVICE DETECTED

spd = 1 (corresponds to 1.5Gbps)

One question, the print for mask came after these 2 lines of code, right?

       /* unconditionally mask off the highest bit */
        bit = fls(mask) - 1;
        mask &= ~(1 << bit);

In your debug kernel, would please remove the following 2 lines of code (so the code falls thru)

        if (spd > 1)
                mask &= (1 << (spd - 1)) - 1;
        else <=====
                return -EINVAL; <===== Remove these 2 lines of code.

And finally, at the end __sata_set_spd_needed(), would you please print out these values?

spd
target
*scontrol

The original patch didn't force changing mask, but, it does "return -EINVAL", I think it
may fix the problem just letting it fall thru to the end of sata_down_spd_limit(), but it would
still help to see the original debug values and these new ones with possible fix. Thank you.
