[PATCH 0/2] libata: introduce ATA_FLAG_NO_LOG_PAGE

[Andreas Werner]

This patchset add a new ata port flag ATA_FLAG_NO_LOG_PAGE to be able
to blacklist ports/controller which e.g. locks up on a log page read.

This flag is added to the sata_fsl driver which is the first affected
one.

The lockup was detected on Freescale P1013/P1022, T4240 using a ATP
mSATA.
The device failed during initialisation if the SATA device includes the
devslp feature.

With this patchset, we blacklist the fsl sata controller and return
a error on any attempt to read a log page. This allows us to access
the mSATA.
