AMD requires that the SATA controller be configured for devsleep in order
for S0i3 entry to work properly.

commit b1a9585cc396 ("ata: ahci: Enable DEVSLP by default on x86 with
SLP_S0") sets up a kernel policy to enable devsleep on Intel mobile
platforms that are using s0ix. Add the PCI ID for the SATA controller in
Green Sardine platforms to extend this policy by default for AMD based
systems using s0i3 as well.

Aren't 0x7900 and 0x7901 the same device only in different modes? I
wonder, why different boards and different comments are used.

No they aren't the same device in different modes.

Reference:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/tech-docs/processor-programming-reference-ppr-for-amd-family-19h-model-51h-revision-a1
Page 33 has a table.

That table misses 0x7900h. (Where can I find it?) coreboot has 0x7900 defined for Cezanne:

src/include/device/pci_ids.h:#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_CZ_SATA 0x7900
src/soc/amd/stoneyridge/include/soc/pci_devs.h: * SATA_IDE_IDEVID 0x7900

The PCI database too [3]:

FCH SATA Controller [IDE mode]


Additionally, the device 0x7901 is also present in desktop systems like
Dell OptiPlex 5055 and MSI B350 MORTAR. Is `board_ahci_mobile` the right
board then? Or should the flag `AHCI_HFLAG_IS_MOBILE` be renamed to
avoid confusion?

Are you having a problem or just want clarity in the enum definition?

It’s more about clarity, and understanding the two different entries.

This was introduced by Hans in commit ebb82e3c79d2a to set LPM policy properly
for a number of mobile devices.

My opinion here is that the policy being for "mobile" devices only is short sighted as power
consumption policy on desktops is also relevant as OEMs ship desktops that need to meet
various power regulations for those too.

So I would be in the camp for renaming the flags.

Why can’t the LPM policy, if available(?), not be set for `board_ahci` by default, so `board_ahci_mobile` could be removed?

/* AMD is using RAID class only for ahci controllers */
{ PCI_VENDOR_ID_AMD, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID,
PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_RAID << 8, 0xffffff, board_ahci },


Kind regards,

Paul
