commit 4e6e8df6134e903737f3c0a8c6efb85ec85b619f Author: Timothy Pearson tpearson@raptorengineeringinc.com Date: Thu Jun 18 11:48:02 2015 -0500
southbridge/amd/sb700: Add option to disable SATA ALPM
The AMD Register Programming Reference states that the user should have the option to disable Active Link Power Management for two reasons. First, some drives may not function correctly with the ALPM implementation of the SP5100, and second there are some situations where low latency access is more important than the power savings created by using ALPM.
Allow the user to disable ALPM if desired.
