scsi: hisi_sas: workaround a SoC SATA IO processing bug
This patch provides a workaround a SoC bug where SATA IPTTs for different devices may conflict. The workaround solution requests the following: 1. SATA device id must be even and not equal to SAS IPTT. 2. SATA device can not share the same IPTT with other SAS or SATA device. Besides we shall consider IPTT value 0 is reserved for another SoC bug (STP device open link at firstly after SAS controller reset). To sum up, the solution is: Each SATA device uses independent and continuous 32 even IPTT from 64 to 4094, then v2 hw can only support 63 SATA devices. All SAS device(SSP/SMP devices) share odd IPTT value from 1 to 4095.
