Re: [PATCH v2] drivers: ata: wake port before DMA stop for ALPM

[Danesh Petigara]

Hi Tejun,

I was wondering if you had an opportunity to review this patch? Any
chance of this going into v4.5 along with the other patches, or would
you like to defer it to v4.6? I am fine either way.

Thanks,
Danesh
