[PATCH 0/2] Add support per ATA port ledtrigger on armada 38x

From: Aditya Prayoga

Hi everyone,

This series adds support LED trigger for each ATA port indicating disk activity
in Armada 38x. I pick up the work done by Daniel Golle which can be found at [1]

Helios4 which is based on Armada 388, has four LEDs designed to indicate disk
activity on each SATA ports. As the final switch (CONFIG_ATA_LEDS) to enable
the codepath by default is no, it should not affect the rest of Armada 38x
based boards.

Notes
checkpatch.pl complains about "WARNING: please write a paragraph that
describes the config symbol fully" but I think the description is clear
enough to ignore the warning.

Some performance number tested on Western Digital Red 2TB WD20EFRX
using fio randrw
* CONFIG_ATA_LEDS disabled and selected trigger is none
read : iops=326
write : iops=109
* CONFIG_ATA_LEDS disabled and selected trigger is disk-activity
read : iops=325
write : iops=108
* CONFIG_ATA_LEDS enabled and selected trigger is ata1
read : iops=325
write : iops=108
