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
