* Print the timeout value for internal command failures due to a
  timeout (from Tomas).

* Improve parameter names in ata_dev_set_feature() to clarify this
  function use (from Niklas).

* Improve the ahci driver low power mode setting initialization to allow
  more flexibility for the user (from Rafael).

* Several patches to remove redundant variables in libata-core,
  libata-eh and the pata_macio driver and to fix typos in comments (from
  Jinpeng, Shaomin, Ye).

* Some code simplifications and macro renaming (for clarity) in various
  functions of libata-core (from me).

* Add a missing check for a potential failure of sata_scr_read() in
  sata_print_link_status() (from Li).

* Cleanup of libata Kconfig PATA_PLATFORM and PATA_OF_PLATFORM options
  (from Lukas).

* Cleanups of ata dt-bindings and improvements of libahci_platform, ahci
  and libahci code (from Serge)

* New driver for Synopsys AHCI SATA controllers, based of the generic
  ahci code (from Serge). One compilation warning fix is added for this
  driver (from me).

* Several fixes to macros used to discover a drive capabilities to be
  consistent with the ACS specifications (from Niklas).

* A couple of simplifcations to some libata functions, removing
  unnecessary arguments (from Niklas).

* An improvements to libata-eh code to avoid unnecessary link reset when
  revalidating a drive after a failed command. In practice, this extra,
  unneeded reset, reset does not cause any arm beyond slightly slowing
  down error recovery (from Niklas).
