PATCH 1/1 ata: ahci_st: fixup layering violations / drvdata errors

When working on another SATA driver that uses libahci_platform, I noticed an error in this driver; it tries to the the driver data for its device, while libata also thinks it can set the driver data. See:

ahci_platform_init_host()
-> ata_host_alloc_pinfo()

     -> ata_host_alloc()
        -> dev_set_drvdata()

So instead of sticking the IP-specific platform data into drvdata, let's use the plat_data variable that is reserved for this use.

This is ONLY compile tested; I don't have hardware to run. This looks like it could have ramifications on suspend/resume support, and hot device removal (e.g., sysfs unbind), so it might qualify as -stable, if someone can test it

Your patch looks sensible, thanks for spotting this issue.

Peter, do you have the SATA setup in place to test Brian's patch?

Once tested, you can add my:

Yes I can test, although not until Saturday as I only have remote access to the board today & tomorrow and the hard drive isn't plugged in.

What's the status on this patch? Should I push it through for-4.1-fixes?

Thanks.

The layering violation which Brian identified does need fixing. However please don't take this patch as it currently is, as it causes a NULL ptr dereference.

I can send an updated version in a moment which: -
1) Fixes the conflict you will get when applying it for v4.1 (due to my "st_configure_oob must be called after IP is clocked" patch).

2) Fixes the crash which this patch introduces.

regards,

Peter.

Why not just platform_get_drvdata()?

Just being consistent, as that's what the rest of the driver uses. It seems like it'd be easy to misconstrue dev_get_drvrdata(&pdev->dev) and platform_get_drvdata(pdev) as two different things (e.g., when grepping), when in fact they are the same. Seems like a needless source of potential confusion.

Why should I use platform_get_drvdata()?

(NB: I didn't notice at first that the driver already was using platform_get_drvdata(). I pretty much ignored anything that was already there, since it was all wrong anyway.)

Anyway, I don't care either way, and in fact, I don't care about this driver much at all as I never expect to use it; I just noticed the defect when reading.
