[PATCH] libata: Add an additional LPM policy to match Intel recommendations
From: Matthew Garrett
Date: Fri Apr 10 2015 - 16:15:58 EST
Intel publish a document on designing energy efficient SATA devices at
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/reference-guide/sata-devices-implementation-recommendations.pdf
which recommends that ALPE be set, ASPE be cleared and that DIPM be enabled
on the device. Right now we have no policy that matches that - medium_power
does not enable DIPM and min_power sets ASPE. Add a new low_power policy to
implement these recommendations. I've left devslp disabled because I'm not
yet sure what Intel do in that case. With luck this will provide reasonable
power savings without causing the device breakages we occasionally see with
the min_power policy.
