Is this issue only with your ahci platform controller? I came across another
thread here,
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ide/msg39865.html
Also, the ahci platform controller on Texas Instruments OMAP L138 platform
behaves in a similar fashion.
Currently I see only Cavium Networks, Faraday and TI using ahci platform
controller and all 3 facing same issue.
Hence, should we fix this in ahci_platform.c conditionally using platform data,
otherwise we will end-up adding file for every platform (just for one
function).
Thanks
