Subject: reports SATA link power management med_power_with_dipm as "bad"

Date: Sun, 26 Aug 2018 15:12:11 +0200

Package: powertop
Version: 2.8-1+b2
Severity: normal

Hi,

tlp sets the SATA link power management to med_power_with_dipm as
recommended by recent kernels. That setting is flagged as "Bad" by
powertop and corrected to "min_power" which is potentially dangerous.

Is this outdated or intended behavior of powertop?

Greetings
Marc
