[ Upstream commit deca423213cb33feda15e261e7b5b992077a6a08 ]
Commit ae1f3db006b7 ("ata: ahci: do not enable LPM on external ports") changed so that LPM is not enabled on external ports (hotplug-capable or eSATA ports).
This is because hotplug and LPM are mutually exclusive, see 7.3.1 Hot Plug Removal Detection and Power Management Interaction in AHCI 1.3.1.
This does require that firmware has set the appropate bits (HPCP or ESP) in PxCMD (which is a per port register in the AHCI controller).
If the firmware has failed to mark a port as hotplug-capable or eSATA in PxCMD, then there is currently not much a user can do.
If LPM is enabled on the port, hotplug insertions and removals will not be detected on that port.
In order to allow a user to fix up broken firmware, add 'external' to the libata.force kernel parameter.
libata.force can be specified either on the kernel command line, or as a kernel module parameter.
For more information, see Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt.
