DIPM is unsupported or broken on sunxi. Trying to enable the power
management policy med_power_with_dipm on an Allwinner A20 SoC based board
leads to immediate I/O errors and the attached SATA disk disappears from
the /dev filesystem. A reset (power cycle) is required to make the SATA
controller or disk work again. The A10 and A20 SoC data sheets and manuals
don't mention DIPM at all [1], so it's fair to assume that it's simply not
supported. But even if it were, it should be considered broken and best be
disabled in the ahci_sunxi driver.

Fixes: c5754b5220f0 ("ARM: sunxi: Add support for Allwinner SUNXi SoCs sata to ahci_platform")

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.

    The "Fixes:" tag should immediately precede the signoff tag...

    And this line should be immediately after the patch description.
