Subject: [PATCH v3 12/15] ata: ahci: improve AHCI port bring-up sequence
Date: Sun, 02 Aug 2026 15:16:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260802-rn102-rn104-series-v3-12-f7685a279fb5@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260802-rn102-rn104-series-v3-0-f7685a279fb5@gmail.com>
From: Luca Lauro <famlauro93l@gmail.com>
The existing code only attempted a partial port disable and relied on
spin-up and link-up paths that are not reliable on some platforms like
Marvell 9170-based systems; which require a stricter and more complete
port initialization sequence than the generic AHCI specification.
This patch improves the port bring-up sequence by:
- fully disabling the port and waiting for FR/CR to clear
- clearing PORT_SCR_ERR before initialization
- issuing a COMRESET and waiting for PHY readiness
- programming both 32-bit and 64-bit base address registers
- enabling FIS receive and port start in the correct order
- waiting for device readiness via TFDATA
- removing obsolete spin-up, ICC and link-up logic
