First of all I didn't want to mix up the AHCI and platform-specific
flags especially seeing there aren't that many free bits left in the
hpriv->flags field. Secondly a new platform-specific flags set has
already been defined in commit 9d2ab9957397 ("ata: libahci_platform:
add reset control support"). Thus mixing up AHCI_HFLAG* and
AHCI_PLATFORM* flags in a single field wouldn't have been that
maintainable. So to speak at least for v1 I decided to add a new
reset-specific field to preserve the reset-related flags only. It
might have been more reasonable to create a generic storage like
p_flags for all platform-specific flags. But it's up to you to decide
after all. What do you think?

> return void in a void function ? How does this even compile ?

Well, apparently it does.) I was also surprised not to have any
warning printed from the compiler. Most likely the silent
behavior was caused by the explicit cast to void.

Regarding my reasoning. In this case using the return operator that
way spared the two lines of code and let not to use the 'else'
operator. If I didn't use the return operator like that I would have
needed to implement the statements like this:
+ if (hpriv->f_rsts & AHCI_PLATFORM_RST_TRIGGER) {
+ (void)reset_control_rearm(hpriv->rsts);
+ return;
+ }
+
+ reset_control_assert(hpriv->rsts);
or like this:
+ if (hpriv->f_rsts & AHCI_PLATFORM_RST_TRIGGER)
+ (void)reset_control_rearm(hpriv->rsts);
+ else
+ reset_control_assert(hpriv->rsts);

I've decided to try a more simple pattern. If you think it's too
questionable and shouldn't be used I'll drop the return operator.
Do you want me to?

> And what if reset_control_rearm() fails ? What happens ?

Happens the same as before this commit in case of the
reset_control_assert() method invocation failure. The error will be just
ignored. As you can see the ahci_platform_assert_rsts() method is only
utilized in the resources disable procedure or in the revert-on-error
path of the ahci_platform_enable_resources() function. The driver
doesn't check the return values in none of these places.

I still think that we shouldn't convert the code to checking the
status in these parts, but I can add the return status to the
ahci_platform_assert_rsts() method like this:
+int ahci_platform_assert_rsts(struct ahci_host_priv *hpriv)
+{
+ if (hpriv->f_rsts & AHCI_PLATFORM_RST_TRIGGER)
+ return reset_control_rearm(hpriv->rsts);
+
+ return reset_control_assert(hpriv->rsts);
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(ahci_platform_assert_rsts);

How do you feel about this?

Please see my first comment.
