The patch "libata-acpi: add ata port runtime D3Cold support" by Lin Ming
introduced a function ata_acpi_wake_dev in libata-acpi.c, and only lives
in libata-next tree but not scsi-misc tree.

In patch "scsi: sr: support zero power ODD(ZPODD)" I need to set the
wakeup_by_user flag of the scsi device in ata_acpi_wake_dev like this:

--- a/drivers/ata/libata-acpi.c
+++ b/drivers/ata/libata-acpi.c
@@ -985,8 +985,10 @@ static void ata_acpi_wake_dev(acpi_handle handle, u32 event, void *context)
struct ata_device *ata_dev = context;

if (event == ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE_WAKE && ata_dev &&
- pm_runtime_suspended(&ata_dev->sdev->sdev_gendev))
+ pm_runtime_suspended(&ata_dev->sdev->sdev_gendev)) {
+ ata_dev->sdev->wakeup_by_user = 1;
scsi_autopm_get_device(ata_dev->sdev);
+ }
}

But since there is no such function in scsi-misc tree, I can't set the
flag. Any suggestions?

Another minor issue is, I need to use the can_power_off and
wakeup_by_user flag of the scsi_device structure in sr patches, but
they are all introduced in patches in libata-next tree, so I have to
re-define them in this patch set. Will cause conflict if James send
these sr patches to Linus. Any way to avoid this?

Thanks,
Aaron
