ata: pata_legacy: remove VLB support

This significantly reduces the complexity of the pata_legacy driver.
The VLB bus is very obsolete and last appeared on P5 Pentium-era
hardware. Support for it has been removed from other drivers, and
it is highly unlikely anyone is using it with modern Linux kernels.
Some of these chips were integrated on motherboards, but they
seem to have all been 486-era boards, which are equally obsolete.

ata: Kconfig: Update SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY default to med_power_with_dipm

Historically this was set to "keep_firmware_settings" to prevent problems
with power management on very old drives. However it's been observed that
almost all modern Linux distributions either set the policy to
"med_power_with_dipm" in the kernel configuration or update it to this via
userspace policy changes. Update the policy default in the kernel to
"med_power_with_dipm" to match that behavior as well.

Changing the default was previously not a good idea, because LPM disables
detection of hot plug removals, however, since commit ae1f3db006b7 ("ata:
ahci: do not enable LPM on external ports"), a port marked as external
will always be initialized to "keep_firmware_settings", regardless of the
SATA_MOBILE_LPM_POLICY Kconfig value. Therefore, changing the default is
now considered safe (external ports included).

Merge tag 'ata-6.3-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dlemoal/libata

Pull ATA updates from Damien Le Moal:

- Small cleanup of the pata_octeon driver to drop a useless platform
callback (Uwe)

- Simplify ata_scsi_cmd_error_handler() code using the fact that
ap->ops->error_handler is NULL most of the time (Wenchao)

- Several patches improving libata error handling. This is in
preparation for supporting the command duration limits (CDL) feature.
The changes allow handling corner cases of ATA NCQ errors which do
not happen with regular drives but will be triggered with CDL drives
(Niklas)

- Simplify the qc_fill_rtf operation (me)

- Improve SCSI command translation for REPORT_SUPPORTED_OPERATION_CODES
command (me)

- Cleanup of libata FUA handling.

This falls short of enabling FUA for ATA drives that support it by
default as there were concerns that old drives would break. The
series however fixes several issues with the FUA support to ensure
that FUA is reported as being supported only for drives that can
handle all possible write cases (NCQ and non-NCQ). A check in the
block layer is also added to ensure that we never see read FUA
commands (current behavior) (me)

- Several patches to move the old PARIDE (parallel port IDE) driver to
libata as pata_parport. Given that this driver also needs protocol
modules, the driver code resides in its own pata_parport directoy
under drivers/ata (Ondrej)

"Unused boardfile removal for 6.3

This is a follow-up to the deprecation of most of the old-style board

This branch is almost exclusively dead code removal based on those
annotations. Some device driver removals went through separate
subsystem trees, but the majority is in the same branch, in order to
better handle dependencies between the patches and avoid breaking
bisection.

Unfortunately that leads to merge conflicts against other changes in
the subsystem trees, but they should all be trivial to resolve by
removing the files.

ata: pata_parport: add driver (PARIDE replacement)

The pata_parport is a libata-based replacement of the old PARIDE
subsystem - driver for parallel port IDE devices.
It uses the original paride low-level protocol drivers but does not
need the high-level drivers (pd, pcd, pf, pt, pg). The IDE devices
behind parallel port adapters are handled by the ATA layer.

This will allow paride and its high-level drivers to be removed.

Unfortunately, libata drivers cannot sleep so pata_parport claims
parport before activating the ata host and keeps it claimed (and
protocol connected) until the ata host is removed. This means that
no devices can be chained (neither other pata_parport devices nor
a printer).

paride and pata_parport are mutually exclusive because the compiled
protocol drivers are incompatible.

Tested with:
- Imation SuperDisk LS-120 and HP C4381A (EPAT)
- Freecom Parallel CD (FRPW)
- Toshiba Mobile CD-RW 2793008 w/Freecom Parallel Cable rev.903 (FRIQ)
- Backpack CD-RW 222011 and CD-RW 19350 (BPCK6)

The following bugs in low-level protocol drivers were found and will
be fixed later:

Note: EPP-32 mode is buggy in EPAT - and also in all other protocol
drivers - they don't handle non-multiple-of-4 block transfers
correctly. This causes problems with LS-120 drive.
There is also another bug in EPAT: EPP modes don't work unless a 4-bit
or 8-bit mode is used first (probably some initialization missing?).
Once the device is initialized, EPP works until power cycle.

So after device power on, you have to:
echo "parport0 epat 0" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
echo pata_parport.0 >/sys/bus/pata_parport/delete_device
echo "parport0 epat 4" >/sys/bus/pata_parport/new_device
(autoprobe will initialize correctly as it tries the slowest modes
first but you'll get the broken EPP-32 mode)

Note: EPP modes are buggy in FRPW, only modes 0 and 1 work.

ata: ahci-dwc: Add Baikal-T1 AHCI SATA interface support

It's almost fully compatible DWC AHCI SATA IP-core derivative except the
reference clocks source, which need to be very carefully selected. In
particular the DWC AHCI SATA PHY can be clocked either from the pads
ref_pad_clk_{m,p} or from the internal wires ref_alt_clk_{m,n}. In the
later case the clock signal is generated from the Baikal-T1 CCU SATA PLL.
The clocks source is selected by means of the ref_use_pad wire connected
to the CCU SATA reference clock CSR.

In normal situation it would be much more handy to use the internal
reference clock source, but alas we haven't managed to make the AHCI
controller working well with it so far. So it's preferable to have the
controller clocked from the external clock generator and fallback to the
internal clock source only as a last resort. Other than that the
controller is full compatible with the DWC AHCI SATA IP-core.

ata: ahci: Add DWC AHCI SATA controller support

Synopsys AHCI SATA controller can work pretty under with the generic
AHCI-platform driver control. But there are vendor-specific peculiarities
which can tune the device performance up and which may need to be fixed up
for proper device functioning. In addition some DWC AHCI-based controllers
may require small platform-specific fixups, so adding them in the generic
AHCI driver would have ruined the code simplicity. Shortly speaking in
order to keep the generic AHCI-platform code clean and have DWC AHCI
SATA-specific features supported we suggest to add a dedicated DWC AHCI
SATA device driver. Aside with the standard AHCI-platform resources
getting, enabling/disabling and the controller registration the new driver
performs the next actions.

First of all there is a way to verify whether the HBA/ports capabilities
activated in OF are correct. Almost all features availability is reflected
in the vendor-specific parameters registers. So the DWC AHCI driver does
the capabilities sanity check based on the corresponding fields state.

Secondly if either the Command Completion Coalescing or the Device Sleep
feature is enabled the DWC AHCI-specific internal 1ms timer must be fixed
in accordance with the application clock signal frequency. In particular
the timer value must be set to be Fapp * 1000. Normally the SoC designers
pre-configure the TIMER1MS register to contain a correct value by default.
But the platforms can support the application clock rate change. If that
happens the 1ms timer value must be accordingly updated otherwise the
dependent features won't work as expected. In the DWC AHCI driver we
suggest to rely on the "aclk" reference clock rate to set the timer
interval up. That clock source is supposed to be the AHCI SATA application
clock in accordance with the DT bindings.

Finally DWC AHCI SATA controller AXI/AHB bus DMA-engine can be tuned up to
transfer up to 1024 * FIFO words at a time by setting the Tx/Rx
transaction size in the DMA control register. The maximum value depends on
the DMA data bus and AXI/AHB bus maximum burst length. In most of the
cases it's better to set the maximum possible value to reach the best AHCI
SATA controller performance. But sometimes in order to improve the system
interconnect responsiveness, transferring in smaller data chunks may be
more preferable. For such cases and for the case when the default value
doesn't provide the best DMA bus performance we suggest to use the new
HBA-port specific DT-properties "snps,{tx,rx}-ts-max" to tune the DMA
transactions size up.

After all the settings denoted above are handled the DWC AHCI SATA driver
proceeds further with the standard AHCI-platform host initializations.

Note since DWC AHCI controller is now have a dedicated driver we can
discard the corresponding compatible string from the ahci-platform.c
module. The same concerns "snps,spear-ahci" compatible string, which is
also based on the DWC AHCI IP-core.

ata: make PATA_PLATFORM selectable only for suitable architectures

It is currently possible to select "Generic platform device PATA support"
in two situations:

- architecture allows the generic platform device PATA support and
indicates that with "select HAVE_PATA_PLATFORM".
- if the user claims to be an EXPERT by setting CONFIG_EXPERT to yes

However, there is no use case to have Generic platform device PATA support
in a kernel build if the architecture definition, i.e., the selection of
configs by an architecture, does not support it.

If the architecture definition is wrong, i.e., it just misses a 'select
HAVE_PATA_PLATFORM', then even an expert that configures the kernel build
should not just fix that by overruling the claimed support by an
architecture. If the architecture definition is wrong, the expert should
just provide a patch to correct the architecture definition instead---in
the end, if the user is an expert, sending a quick one-line patch should
not be an issue.

In other words, I do not see the deeper why an expert can overrule the
architecture definition in this case, as the expert may not overrule the
config selections defined by the architecture in the large majority
---or probably all other (modulo some mistakes)---of similar cases.

ata: clean up how architectures enable PATA_PLATFORM and PATA_OF_PLATFORM

There are two options for platform device PATA support:

PATA_PLATFORM: Generic platform device PATA support
PATA_OF_PLA

ata: clean up how architectures enable PATA_PLATFORM and PATA_OF_PLATFORM

There are two options for platform device PATA support:

PATA_PLATFORM: Generic platform device PATA support
PATA_OF_PLATFORM: OpenFirmware platform device PATA support

If an architecture allows the generic platform device PATA support, it
shall select HAVE_PATA_PLATFORM. Then, Generic platform device PATA support
is available and can be selected.

If an architecture has OpenFirmware support, which it indicates by
selecting OF, OpenFirmware platform device PATA support is available
and can be selected.
If OpenFirmware platform device PATA support is selected, then the
functionality (code files) from Generic platform device PATA support needs
to be integrated in the kernel build for the OpenFirmware platform device
PATA support to work. Select PATA_PLATFORM in PATA_OF_PLATFORM to make sure
the needed files are added in the build.

So, architectures with OpenFirmware support, do not need to additionally
select HAVE_PATA_PLATFORM. It is only needed by architecture that want the
non-OF pata-platform module.

Reflect this way of intended use of config symbols in the ata Kconfig and
adjust all architecture definitions.

This follows the suggestion from Arnd Bergmann (see Link).

CONFIG_SATA_LPM_MOBILE_POLICY was renamed to CONFIG_SATA_LPM_POLICY in
commit 4dd4d3deb502 ("ata: ahci: Rename CONFIG_SATA_LPM_MOBILE_POLICY
configuration item").

This can potentially cause problems as users would invisibly lose
configuration policy defaults when they built the new kernel. To
avoid such problems, switch back to the old name (even if it's wrong).

`CONFIG_SATA_LPM_MOBILE_POLICY` reflects a configuration to apply only to
mobile chipsets. As some desktop boards may want to use this policy by
default as well, rename the configuration item to `SATA_LPM_POLICY`.
