applied 1-2... HOWEVER...
I would not classify this as braindead. I have applied these patches,
but it must be emphasized that this is a temporary fix only.
Overall, it is unfortunately but libata must be aware of the state the
controller should be in, for suspend and resume. I bet some more
suspend/resume problems can be isolated to a hardware state mismatch,
where BIOS expects one thing but Linux has configured the hardware
differently.
A more generalized rule to consider for the future would be to ensure
that ALL suspend routines put the hardware back into its pre-Linux init
mode before suspending. i.e. that means if we turned on some enhanced
mode, we must switch back to legacy mode before calling pci_xxx to
suspend our device.
