    libata: stop overloading port_info->private_data · 887125e3
    Tejun Heo authored
    port_info->private_data is currently used for two purposes - to record
    private data about the port_info or to specify host->private_data to
    use when allocating ata_host.
    
    This overloading is confusing and counter-intuitive in that
    port_info->private_data becomes host->private_data instead of
    port->private_data.  In addition, port_info and host don't correspond
    to each other 1-to-1.  Currently, the first non-NULL
    port_info->private_data is used.
    
    This patch makes port_info->private_data just be what it is -
    private_data for the port_info where LLD can jot down extra info.
    libata no longer sets host->private_data to the first non-NULL
    port_info->private_data, @host_priv argument is added to
    ata_pci_init_one() instead.  LLDs which use ata_pci_init_one() can use
    this argument to pass in pointer to host private data.  LLDs which
    don't should use init-register model anyway and can initialize
    host->private_data directly.
    
    Adding @host_priv instead of using init-register model for LLDs which
    use ata_pci_init_one() is suggested by Alan Cox.
