Thank you for the patch. 2 remarks:

1) The ata code is maintained by Jens Axboe (added to the Cc) now, this is a very recent change, which still has to hit MAINTAINERS
[Suman Tripathi] Didn't still see him for libata subsystem. Surely will fix the comments cc him for the next version. I see him in the scsi subsystem.

Please do not remove const here, if you need to make a shared info struct like this non const you are usually doing something wrong (see below).

The normal way to get specific behavior for a specific ACPI HID is to put the HID in the ahci_acpi_match table and use the acpi_device_id field to pass some flags (or a pointer).
[Suman Tripathi] Agree on this.

So the proper way to fix this is to do something like this:

1) Add:

static const struct ata_port_info ahci_port_info_nolpm = {
         .flags          = AHCI_FLAG_COMMON | ATA_FLAG_NO_LPM,
         .pio_mask       = ATA_PIO4,
         .udma_mask      = ATA_UDMA6,
         .port_ops       = &ahci_platform_ops,
};

2) Modify ahci_acpi_match table to:

static const struct acpi_device_id ahci_acpi_match[] = {
        { "APMC0D33", (unsigned long)&ahci_port_info_nolpm },
         { ACPI_DEVICE_CLASS(PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_SATA_AHCI, 0xffffff) },
         {},
};

3) In ahci_probe() do:

        const struct ata_port_info *port;

        ...

        port = acpi_device_get_match_data(dev);
        if (!port)
                port = &ahci_port_info;

        rc = ahci_platform_init_host(pdev, hpriv, port, &ahci_platform_sht);

Hans
