You are checking hpriv flags here and changing global state based on that.

Instead it would be better to add a new:

int ahci_get_initial_lpm_policy(struct ahci_host_priv *hpriv);

Function and replace this:

                 if ((hpriv->flags & AHCI_HFLAG_IS_MOBILE) &&
                     mobile_lpm_policy >= ATA_LPM_UNKNOWN &&
                     mobile_lpm_policy <= ATA_LPM_MIN_POWER)
                         ap->target_lpm_policy = mobile_lpm_policy;

With:

		ap->target_lpm_policy = ahci_get_initial_lpm_policy(priv);

And do the original checks + your new checks all in the
ahci_get_initial_lpm_policy() function.

Hans
