libata: disable LPM for Crucial BX100 SSD drives

After Laptop Mode Tools starts to use min_power for LPM, a user found
out Crucial BX100 SSD can't get mounted.

Crucial BX100 SSD drives don't work well with min_power. This also
happens to med_power_with_dipm.

So let's disable LPM for Crucial BX100 SSD drives.

First of all thank you for your patch for this.

Compared to a similar patch which I just submitted for MX100 device
2 things stand out:

1) The entry my patch adds needed to be above the queued TRIM
entries because there is a more generic entry matching the SSD
below, it might be good to group all entries together there.

2) Your reporter has a 500GB model and as mentioned in my
patch I've noticed that all reporters (there are multiple
for my model) all have the 500GB version, so I think we should
restrict this to the 500GB version for now ?

I also noticed that your reporter reports a firmware
version of "MU02" and so does mine, where as the
"queued TRIM" blacklist entries all check for a version
of "MU01", could it be that the non 500GB and 500GB
versions have different firmware ?  What about the queued
trim quirks, do we maybe also need that for the MU02 version?

Regards,

Hans

Sure. I’ll rebase mine on top of yours.
Also the model name “CT500BX100SSD1” doesn’t contain “Micron”, so it
should not match to other quirks...

My guess is that all of them use the same firmware/controller.
But you are right, for now we should just match this specific
model.

I don’t see this SSD model on other Launchpad bugs, so I don’t
have the answer.

The user doesn’t report any TRIM issue (yet), so I guess LPM quirk
alone is good for now. We can also match MU02 to be even more
restrictive.
