ata: ahci: work around lost interrupts on Marvell 88SE61xx
ahci_single_level_irq_intr() services the ports first and clears the global HOST_IRQ_STAT afterwards, as recommended by AHCI 1.1 section 10.6.2. The Marvell 88SE6111/6121/6145 family stops reporting interrupts for a port when HOST_IRQ_STAT is cleared while PxIS still holds bits: PxIS keeps its content, HOST_IRQ_STAT reads back as 0, the port is never looked at again, and the command in flight only ends in a timeout. Measured on a Seagate Blackarmor NAS440 (Marvell 88F6281 Kirkwood, 88SE6121 rev B2 behind PCIe) by polling the AHCI registers from userspace while an IDENTIFY was outstanding: t=303.046 irqs 127 PxIS 0x00000000 PxCI 0x00000001 IDENTIFY issued t=303.057 irqs 128 PxIS 0x00000020 PxCI 0x00000000 CI cleared, DPS set, one interrupt taken ... PxIS stays 0x00000020, HOST_IRQ_STAT stays 0 ... t~308.05 qc timeout after 5000 msecs The command had completed - PxCI was clear and PxIS had DPS set - so ahci_qc_complete() would have completed it. It never got the chance because the handler read HOST_IRQ_STAT as 0 and returned IRQ_NONE. Marvell's own driver for these chips clears the two registers in the opposite order and says so ("clear global before channel"), and ahci_xgene handles its broken edge latch the same way. Since the reordering costs at most one spurious interrupt per valid one on conforming controllers, do it in a private interrupt handler selected for board_ahci_mv instead of changing libahci for everyone. With this applied, SATA-2 and SATA-3 disks work at 3.0 Gbps on the 88SE6121 without the drive-side 1.5 Gbps jumper that was needed before. Time from link up to a successful IDENTIFY: WDC WD5000AADS-00S9B0 port 0 7 ms (never identified before) WDC WD3202ABYS-01B7A0 port 1 28 ms WDC WD30EFRX-68EUZN0 port 1 200 ms (3 TB, HPA detection ok) Only the 88SE6121 was tested; board_ahci_mv also covers the 88SE6145, which Marvell's driver treats identically.
