This is something which we inherited from the Allwinner android kernel sources, and I've always wanted to test if this is really necessary.
So recently I've bought a sata port multiplexer, and I've given this a test spin on both A10 and A20 devices, and it seems to work fine: [ 2.154456] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 2.161092] ata1.15: Port Multiplier 1.2, 0x197b:0x0325 r0, 5 ports, feat 0x5/0xf [ 2.175511] ata1.00: hard resetting link [ 2.524929] ata1.00: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 320) [ 2.531430] ata1.01: hard resetting link [ 2.974465] ata1.01: link resume succeeded after 1 retries [ 3.094932] ata1.01: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) [ 3.101431] ata1.02: hard resetting link [ 4.174466] ata1.02: failed to resume link (SControl 0) [ 4.180065] ata1.02: SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 0) (and the same for links 3 and 4) Once the NO_PMP flag is removed it correctly sees the 2 disks which I've attached, and I can mount and use them just fine, so lets drop the flag.
