Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] ata: stop disk on restart if ACPI power resources are found

Some embedded devices have the ability to control whether power is
provided to the disks via the SATA power connector or not. ACPI power
resources are usually off by default, thus making it unclear if the
specific power resource will retain its state after a restart. If power
resources are defined on ATA ports / devices in ACPI, we should stop the
disk on SYSTEM_RESTART, to ensure the disk will not lose power while
active.

Add a new function, ata_acpi_dev_manage_restart(), that will be used to
determine if a disk should be stopped before restarting the system. If a
usable ACPI power resource has been found, it is assumed that the disk
will lose power after a restart and should be stopped to avoid a power
failure.
