[PATCH v7 10/11] docs: sysfs-block-device: improve ncq_prio_enable documentation

From: Damien Le Moal <hidden>
Date: 2021-08-16 01:45:15
Also in: linux-ide
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Niklas Cassel <redacted>

NCQ priority is an optional feature of the NCQ feature set and should
not be confused with the NCQ feature set itself. Clarify the
description of the ncq_prio_enable attribute to avoid this confusion.

Also add the missing documentation for the equivalent
sas_ncq_prio_enable attribute.

+		(RW) This is the equivalent of the ncq_prio_enable attribute
+		file for SATA devices connected to a SAS host-bus-adapter
+		(HBA) implementing support for the SATA NCQ priority feature.
+		This file does not exist if the HBA driver does not implement
+		support for the SATA NCQ priority feature, regardless of the
+		device support for this feature.
