    libata: Drop SanDisk SD7UB3Q*G1001 NOLPM quirk · e2f88572

    commit 2cfce3a8 upstream.
    
    Commit 184add2c ("libata: Apply NOLPM quirk for SanDisk
    SD7UB3Q*G1001 SSDs") disabled LPM for SanDisk SD7UB3Q*G1001 SSDs.
    
    This has lead to several reports of users of that SSD where LPM
    was working fine and who know have a significantly increased idle
    power consumption on their laptops.
    
    Likely there is another problem on the T450s from the original
    reporter which gets exposed by the uncore reaching deeper sleep
    states (higher PC-states) due to LPM being enabled. The problem as
    reported, a hardfreeze about once a day, already did not sound like
    it would be caused by LPM and the reports of the SSD working fine
    confirm this. The original reporter is ok with dropping the quirk.
    
    A X250 user has reported the same hard freeze problem and for him
    the problem went away after unrelated updates, I suspect some GPU
    driver stack changes fixed things.
    
    TL;DR: The original reporters problem were triggered by LPM but not
    an LPM issue, so drop the quirk for the SSD in question.
