Commit4371fe1ba4("ata: libata-eh: Avoid unnecessary resets when revalidating devices") replaced the call to ata_phys_link_offline() in ata_eh_revalidate_and_attach() with the new function ata_eh_link_established() which relaxes the checks on a device link state to account for low power mode transitions. However, this change assumed that the device port has a valid scr_read method to obtain the SStatus register for the port. This is not always the case, especially with older IDE/PATA adapters (e.g. PATA/IDE devices emulated with QEMU). For such adapter, ata_eh_link_established() will always return false, causing ata_eh_revalidate_and_attach() to go into its error path and ultimately to the device being disabled. Avoid this by restoring the previous behavior, which is to assume that the link is online if reading the port SStatus register fails. While at it, also fix the spelling of SStatus in the comment describing the function ata_eh_link_established().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
