[PATCH] Fix for initialize drives not capable to handle maximum bandwidth

From: MichaÅ Wadowski
Date: Fri Jul 05 2019 - 06:40:44 EST


In some cases if sata drive can't work with default controller
bandwidth, driver fails to initialize the device.

libata-core: sata_link_hardreset - if after reset the device is
offline, then driver should try again, with lower SPD.

sata_down_spd_limit - function should handle corner case values,
if device is not initialized yet.
