    Subject[PATCH 3/3] ahci: AMD A85 FCH (Hudson D4): Skip 200 ms debounce delay in `sata_link_resume()`
    Date
    Since the first commit 1da177e4c3 (Linux-2.6.12-rc2) in the Linux git
    repository, `sata_link_resume()` contains a 200 ms delay with the comment
    below.

    > /*
    > * Some PHYs react badly if SStatus is pounded
    > * immediately after resuming. Delay 200ms before
    > * debouncing.
    > */

    A lot of PHYs do not have that problem though, so delaying 200 ms increases
    the boot time by 30 percent unnecessarily for a lot of systems, making
    “instant booting” quite hard.

    As it’s unknown for what PHY the delay was added, create a new board
    `board_ahci_nodbdelay` with the link flag `ATA_LFLAG_NO_DB_DELAY,`, and,
    for now, configure the AMD A85 FCH (Hudson D4) to use it.

    On the ASUS F2A85-M PRO it reduces the Linux kernel boot time by the
    expected 200 ms from 787 ms to 585 ms.

    Tested on ASUS F2A85-M PRO:

    Without patch, i. e., with 200 ms debounce delay:

    Add the two Chromium OS developers Dmitry and Guenter to Cc, as to my
    knowledge Chromium/Chrome OS also tries to boot very fast, and the Chromium
    project has some CI infrastructure.
