libata: implement HORKAGE_1_5_GBPS and apply it to WD My Book
3Gbps is often much more prone to transmission failures. It's usually okay to let EH handle speed down after transmission failures but some WD My Book drives completely shutdown after certain transmission failures and after it only power cycling can revive them. Combined with the fact that external drives often end up with cable assembly which is longer than usual and more likely to have intervening gender, this makes these drives very likely to shutdown under certain configurations virtually rendering them unusable. This patch implements HOARKGE_1_5_GBPS and applies it to WD My Book such that 1.5Gbps is forced once the device is identified. Please take a look at the following bz for related reports. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9913 Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
