Subject: [PATCH] ahci: Detect Marvell 88SE9172 SATA controller
Upstream commit 642d89252201c4155fc3946bf9cdea409e5d263e.
Adds a new, previously unrecognized device, so please apply to all
relevant kernel versions.
The Marvell 88SE9172 SATA controller (PCI ID 1b4b 917a) already worked
once it was detected, but was missing an ahci_pci_tbl entry.
Boot tested on a Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3 motherboard.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree. Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
for how to do this properly.

Hi Greg,
I did read the docs, and attempted to follow them. My problem in this
case is that I didn't know about the 'Cc: stable..' procedure until
after the patch had already been upstreamed. I thus attempted to follow
this part of the guideline:
- Send the patch, after verifying that it follows the above rules, to
[email protected]. You must note the upstream commit ID in the
changelog of your submission, as well as the kernel version you wish
it to be applied to.
Are you saying that the patch itself is incorrect in some other way, or
pointing out (correctly) that future patches should use the 'Cc:
stable..' path? If the former, please elaborate and I'll be happy to
fix it. If the latter, acknowledged; won't happen again :)
Thanks,
Matt
