[PATCH 0/6] sata_mv: cleanup and error handling

[Steffen Trumtrar]

From: Steffen Trumtrar <str at pengutronix.de>

Hi!

The sata_mv driver in barebox only supports the ARMADA-XP and there are
not really that many users. Therefore only copy mv6-specific setup from
the kernel to the barebox driver.

We have some specific hardware combination of ARDAMA-XP and SATA drive
that fails in probing the drive on a cold start. Not always but at least
in 2 of 10 boots.

When the error occurs, the error registers and/or the documentation
wheren't really that helpful. The only way out is hard-resetting
everything and trying again to enumerate the ATA drive. That's what we
do now.

While at it, get the phy errata from the kernel and flip some bits in
the initial setup that are also set in the kernel driver. Sadly this
wasn't enough to fix the probe error.

This series was tested on the specific, broken HW combo and with a
different combo that didn't (and still doesn't) fail probing.

Steffen Trumtrar (6):
  ata: sata_mv: cleanup alignment
  ata: sata_mv: clear SERROR and en/disable EDMA
  ata: sata_mv: handle the phy errata
  ata: sata_mv: enable Generation 2 speed support
  ata: sata_mv: issue hard-reset on probe
  ata: sata_mv: try probing multiple times
