Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] ata: Use ACPI methods to power on disks

Some embedded devices have the ability to control whether power is
provided to the disks via the SATA power connector or not. If power
resources are defined on ATA ports / devices in ACPI, we should try to set
the power state to D0 before probing the disk to ensure that any power
supply or power gate that may exist is providing power to the disk.

An example for such devices would be newer synology NAS devices. Every
disk slot has its own SATA power connector. Whether the connector is
providing power is controlled via an gpio, which is *off by default*.
Also the disk loses power on reboots.

Add a new function, ata_acpi_port_power_on(), that will be used to power
on the SATA power connector if usable ACPI power resources on the
associated ATA port / device are found. It will be called right before
probing the port, therefore the disk will be powered on just in time.
