With the kernel update we have more different policy for SCSI
link power management. Add the corresponding description to
the file.

==========================
Link Power Managent Policy
==========================
This parameter allows the user to set the link (interface) power management.
There are 6 possible options:
====================== =====================================================
Value Effect
====================== =====================================================
min_power Enable slumber mode(no partial mode) for the link to
use the least possible power when possible. This may
sacrifice some performance due to increased latency
when coming out of lower power states.
max_performance Generally, this means no power management. Tell
the controller to have performance be a priority
over power management.
medium_power Tell the controller to enter a lower power state
when possible, but do not enter the lowest power
state, thus improving latency over min_power setting.
keep_firmware_settings Do not change the current firmware settings for
Power management. This is the default setting.
med_power_with_dipm Same as medium_power, but additionally with
Device-initiated power management(DIPM) enabled,
as Intel Rapid Storage Technology(IRST) does.
min_power_with_partial Same as min_power, but additionally with partial
power state enabled, which may improve performance
over min_power setting.
