Commit aa3998dbeb ("ata: libata-scsi: Disable scsi device
manage_system_start_stop") change setting the manage_system_start_stop
flag to false for libata managed disks to enable libata internal
management of disk suspend/resume. However, a side effect of this change
is that on system shutdown, disks are no longer being stopped (set to
standby mode with the heads unloaded). While this is not a critical
issue, this unclean shutdown is not recommended and shows up with
increased smart counters (e.g. the unexpected power loss counter
"Unexpect_Power_Loss_Ct").
Instead of defining a shutdown driver method for all ATA adapter
drivers (not all of them define that operation), this patch resolves
this issue by further refining the sd driver start/stop control of disks
using the new flag manage_shutdown. If this new flag is set to true by
a low level driver, the function sd_shutdown() will issue a
START STOP UNIT command with the start argument set to 0 when a disk
needs to be powered off (suspended) on system power off, that is, when
system_state is equal to SYSTEM_POWER_OFF.
Similarly to the other manage_xxx flags, the new manage_shutdown flag is
exposed through sysfs as a read-write device attribute.
To avoid any confusion between manage_shutdown and
manage_system_start_stop, the comments describing these flags in
include/scsi/scsi.h are also improved.
