pata_amd: update mode selection for NV PATAs
Cable detection on NV PATA hosts isn't implemented and the CBLID-
cable isn't wired according to the sepc either, so both host-side and
generic drive-side cable detections are broken. Till now,
nv_cable_detect() relied on peeking BIOS and ACPI configurations to
upgrade to 80C but this often results in misdetection of 40C cable as
80C. Also, the original implementation was broken in that by the time
BIOS configuration is read it has already been cleared by programming
PIO0 during reset.
This patch reimplements NV mode selection such that...
* BIOS configuration value is stored during driver attach and restored
on detach.
* Cable type is fixed to ATA_CBL_PATA_IGN and mode selection is soley
done by nv_mode_filter() which peeks both BIOS and ACPI
configurations and filter accordingly.
