ata-6.2-rc1

tagged this 12 Dec 03:59
ata changes fro 6.2 include the ususal set of driver fixes and
improvements as well as several patches improving libata core in
preparation of the introduction of the support for the command duration
limits feature. In more details:

  - Define the missing COMPLETED sense key in scsi header (from me).

  - Several patches to improve libata handling of the status of
    completed commands and the retry and sense data reported to the scsi
    layer for failed commands. In particular, this widen the support for
    NCQ autosense to all drives that support this feature instead of
    restricting this feature use to ZAC drives only (from Niklas).

  - Cleanup of the pata_mpc52xx and sata_dwc_460ex drivers to remove the
    use of the deprecated NO_IRQ macro (from Christophe).

  - Fix build dedependency on OF vs use of the of_match_ptr() macro to
    avoid build errors with the sata_gemini and pata_ftide010 drivers
    (from me).

  - Some libata cleanups using the new helper function
    ata_port_is_frozen() (from Niklas).

  - Improve internal command handling by not retrying commands that
    failed with a timeout (from Niklas).

  - Remove code for several unused libata helper functions (from
    Niklas).

  - Remove the palmchip pata_bk3710 driver. A couple of other driver
    removal should come in through the arm tree pull request (from
    Arnd).

  - Remove unused variable and function in the sata_dwc_460ex driver and
    libata-sff code (from Colin and Sergey).

  - Minor cleanup of the pata_ep93xx driver platform code (from
    Minghao).

  - Remove the unnecessary linux/msi.h include from the ahci driver
    (from Thomas).

  - Changes to libata enum constants definitions to avoid warnings with
    gcc-13 (from Arnd).
