+Subject: [PATCH] libata: transfer EHI control flags to slave ehc.i
+References: bnc#441420
+
+ATA_EHI_NO_AUTOPSY and ATA_EHI_QUIET are used to control the behavior
+of EH. As only the master link is visible outside EH, these flags are
+set only for the master link although they should also apply to the
+slave link, which causes spurious EH messages during probe and
+suspend/resume.
+
+This patch transfers those two flags to slave ehc.i before performing
+slave autopsy and reporting.
