Pull ata fixes from Damien Le Moal: - Add the mask_port_map parameter to the ahci driver. This is a follow-up to the recent snafu with the ASMedia controller and its virtual port hidding port-multiplier devices. As ASMedia confirmed that there is no way to determine if these slow-to-probe virtual ports are actually representing the ports of a port-multiplier devices, this new parameter allow masking ports to significantly speed up probing during system boot, resulting in shorter boot times. - A fix for an incorrect handling of a port unlock in ata_scsi_dev_rescan(). - Allow command duration limits to be detected for ACS-4 devices are there are such devices out in the field. * tag 'ata-6.9-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/libata/linux: ata: libata-core: Allow command duration limits detection for ACS-4 drives ata: libata-scsi: Fix ata_scsi_dev_rescan() error path ata: ahci: Add mask_port_map module parameter
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
