ahci: Acer SA5-271 SSD Not Detected Fix
commit 8bfd1743 upstream. (Correction in this resend: fixed function name acer_sa5_271_workaround; fixed the always-true condition in the function; fixed description.) On the Acer Switch Alpha 12 (model number: SA5-271), the internal SSD may not get detected because the port_map and CAP.nr_ports combination causes the driver to skip the port that is actually connected to the SSD. More specifically, either all SATA ports are identified as DUMMY, or all ports get ``link down'' and never get up again. This problem occurs occasionally. When this problem occurs, CAP may hold a value of 0xC734FF00 or 0xC734FF01 and port_map may hold a value of 0x00 or 0x01. When this problem does not occur, CAP holds a value of 0xC734FF02 and port_map may hold a value of 0x07. Overriding the CAP value to 0xC734FF02 and port_map to 0x7 significantly reduces the occurrence of this problem.
