Subject: [PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 065/122] libata: Ignore spurious PHY event on LPM policy change

3.13.11-ckt22 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gabriele Mazzotta <gabriele.mzt@...il.com>

commit 09c5b4803a80a5451d950d6a539d2eb311dc0fb1 upstream.

When the LPM policy is set to ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER, the device might
generate a spurious PHY event that cuases errors on the link.
Ignore this event if it occured within 10s after the policy change.

The timeout was chosen observing that on a Dell XPS13 9333 these
spurious events can occur up to roughly 6s after the policy change.
