The target LPM policy can be set using either a Kconfig or a kernel module parameter. However, if the board type is set to anything but board_ahci_low_power, then the LPM policy will overridden and set to ATA_LPM_UNKNOWN. Additionally, if the default suspend is suspend to idle, depending on the hardware capabilities of the HBA, ahci_update_initial_lpm_policy() might override the LPM policy to either ATA_LPM_MIN_POWER_WITH_PARTIAL or ATA_LPM_MIN_POWER. All this means that it is very hard to know which LPM policy a user will actually be using on a given system. In order to make it easier to debug LPM related issues, print the LPM policy on boot. One common LPM related issue is that the device fails to link up. Because of that, we cannot add this print to ata_dev_configure(), as that function is only called after a successful link up. Instead, add the info using ata_port_desc(), with the help of a new ata_port_desc_misc() helper. The port description is printed once per port during boot.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
