Personally, I think that checking for certain port numbers, for a specific
motherboard makes the code very ugly, and will not scale very well if some
other motherboard has a different subset of ports where LPM does not work,
so I would rather avoid a quirk handling port numbers.
It is unfortunate that the BIOS manufacturer has managed to mess this up,
but since this is the first motherboard where I've heard about the problem
of LPM only working on certain ports, even though it is a per controller
thing, just not having good power saving for this motherboard seems fine.
I suggest that we simply add the DMI name of your motherboard to
ahci_broken_lpm().
(Since LPM works on the other ports, it seems wrong to quirk all of this
generation of AMD AHCI. It is most likely a BIOS problem and not a AHCI
controller problem.)
Kind regards,
Niklas
