    ata: libata: Fix sata_down_spd_limit() when no link speed is reported · 69f2c934
    Damien Le Moal authored
    Commit 2dc0b46b ("libata: sata_down_spd_limit should return if
    driver has not recorded sstatus speed") changed the behavior of
    sata_down_spd_limit() to return doing nothing if a drive does not report
    a current link speed, to avoid reducing the link speed to the lowest 1.5
    Gbps speed.
    
    However, the change assumed that a speed was recorded before probing
    (e.g. before a suspend/resume) and set in link->sata_spd. This causes
    problems with adapters/drives combination failing to establish a link
    speed during probe autonegotiation. One example reported of this problem
    is an mvebu adapter with a 3Gbps port-multiplier box: autonegotiation
    fails, leaving no recorded link speed and no reported current link
    speed. Probe retries also fail as no action is taken by sata_set_spd()
    after each retry.
    
    Fix this by returning early in sata_down_spd_limit() only if we do have
    a recorded link speed, that is, if link->sata_spd is not 0. With this
    fix, a failed probe not leading to a recorded link speed is retried at
    the lower 1.5 Gbps speed, with the link speed potentially increased
    later on the second revalidate of the device if the device reports
    that it supports higher link speeds.
