Small remark, normally the changelog is put after the Signed-off-by messages like
this:

"""
Signed-off-by: Suman Trpathi <stripathi@...erecomputing.com>
Signed-off-by: Rameshwar Prasad Sahu <rameshwar.sahu@...erecomputing.com>

Changes for v3:
* Fix the indentation and whitespace warnings.

Changes for v2:

* Introduce the new ata_port_info object which includes ATA_FLAG_NO_LPM.
* Include this object for eMAG SATA inside the acpi match table.
* Retrieve the ata_port_info from the acpi match table.
"""

This will cause git am to remove it, so that the git history just
has your original commit message.

By itself this would not be a reason to request a new version, but it
seems you've copy and pasted the patch from "git format-patch" output
into you mail client. I tried to run checkpatch myself to make
sure you caught all whitespace issues and I got this:

[hans@...lem linux]$ scripts/checkpatch.pl ~/\[PATCH\ v3\]\ ata\:\ Disable\ AHCI\ ALPM\ feature\ for\ Ampere\ Computing\ eMAG\ SATA.eml
ERROR: patch seems to be corrupt (line wrapped?)

Followed by lots more errors, line 177 of the email is empty,
while it should contain a single space. This stripping
of whitespace typically is the result of copy pasting
or some other processing of the patch.

Please try to re-send v3 using the "git send-email" command,
so that we get a patch which we can actually apply.

Regards,

Hans
