ata: acpi: rework the ata acpi bind support
Binding ACPI handle to SCSI device has several drawbacks, namely: 1 During ATA device initialization time, ACPI handle will be needed while SCSI devices are not created yet. So each time ACPI handle is needed, instead of retrieving the handle by ACPI_HANDLE macro, a namespace scan is performed to find the handle for the corresponding ATA device. This is inefficient, and also expose a restriction on calling path not holding any lock. 2 The binding to SCSI device tree makes code complex, while at the same time doesn't bring us any benefit. All ACPI handlings are still done in ATA module, not in SCSI. Rework the ATA ACPI binding code to bind ACPI handle to ATA transport devices(ATA port and ATA device). The binding needs to be done only once, since the ATA transport devices do not go away with hotplug. And due to this, the flush_work call in hotplug handler for ATA bay is no longer needed. Tested on an Intel test platform for binding and runtime power off for ODD(ZPODD) and hard disk; on an ASUS S400C for binding and normal boot and S3, where its SATA port node has _SDD and _GTF control methods when configured as an AHCI controller and its PATA device node has _GTF control method when configured as an IDE controller. SATA PMP binding and ATA hotplug is not tested. Signed-off-by: Aaron Lu <aaron.lu@intel.com> Tested-by: Dirk Griesbach <spamthis@freenet.de> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
