Limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps on DM8168

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PMP

Hi all,

My code base is DVRRDK_04_00_00_03 and configure platform to DM8168.

I used SATA Gen2 HD to connect sata port that encounter the problem of limiting SATA link speed from 3.0Gbps to 1.5Gbps.

So, I compared ahci_platform.c between DVRRDK_04.00.00.03 and DVRRDK_03.00.00.00. The "ahci_pmp_retry_srst_ops" function of DVRRDK_04.00.00.03 would casue the SATA link speed to limit to 1.5Gbps. May I know the reason why to add this function into DVRRDK_04.00.00.03? Thanks a lot.
