ata: ahci: work around lost interrupts on Marvell 88SE61xx
ahci_single_level_irq_intr() services the ports first and clears the
global HOST_IRQ_STAT afterwards, as recommended by AHCI 1.1 section
10.6.2. The Marvell 88SE6111/6121/6145 family stops reporting interrupts
for a port when HOST_IRQ_STAT is cleared while PxIS still holds bits:
PxIS keeps its content, HOST_IRQ_STAT reads back as 0, the port is never
looked at again, and the command in flight only ends in a timeout.
Measured on a Seagate Blackarmor NAS440 (Marvell 88F6281 Kirkwood,
88SE6121 rev B2 behind PCIe) by polling the AHCI registers from userspace
while an IDENTIFY was outstanding:
t=303.046 irqs 127 PxIS 0x00000000 PxCI 0x00000001
IDENTIFY issued
t=303.057 irqs 128 PxIS 0x00000020 PxCI 0x00000000
CI cleared, DPS set, one interrupt taken
... PxIS stays 0x00000020, HOST_IRQ_STAT stays 0 ...
t~308.05 qc timeout after 5000 msecs
The command had completed - PxCI was clear and PxIS had DPS set - so
ahci_qc_complete() would have completed it. It never got the chance
because the handler read HOST_IRQ_STAT as 0 and returned IRQ_NONE.
Marvell's own driver for these chips clears the two registers in the
opposite order and says so ("clear global before channel"), and
ahci_xgene handles its broken edge latch the same way. Since the
reordering costs at most one spurious interrupt per valid one on
conforming controllers, do it in a private interrupt handler selected for
board_ahci_mv instead of changing libahci for everyone.
With this applied, SATA-2 and SATA-3 disks work at 3.0 Gbps on the
88SE6121 without the drive-side 1.5 Gbps jumper that was needed before.
Time from link up to a successful IDENTIFY:
WDC WD5000AADS-00S9B0 port 0 7 ms (never identified before)
WDC WD3202ABYS-01B7A0 port 1 28 ms
WDC WD30EFRX-68EUZN0 port 1 200 ms (3 TB, HPA detection ok)
Only the 88SE6121 was tested; board_ahci_mv also covers the 88SE6145,
which Marvell's driver treats identically.
