[PATCHv3 0/5] Support for Marvell AHCI interface on Armada 38x

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

The Marvell Armada 38x ARM processors use an AHCI compatible interface
for SATA (in replacement of the Marvell-specific SATA interface,
handled by the sata_mv driver). However, like all DMA-capable Marvell
interfaces, some specific MBus window configuration must be done, so a
small specific glue layer is needed, which relies on the recently
introduced libahci_platform.c.

Changes since v2:

 * Added Acked-by from Andrew Lunn <andrew at lunn.ch> on the first
   patch.

 * Added comment in the code to explain why we don't have
   suspend/resume support for now. Suggested by Bartlomiej
   Zolnierkiewicz.

 * Added a ahci_mvebu_regret_option() function which enables the
   vendor-specific regret bit, which allows to solve a potential
   deadlock situation in the AHCI interface.

Changes since v1:

 * Rebased on top of v3.15-rc1

 * Added a preliminary patch that orders alphabetically the list of
   compatible strings in the DT binding document
   ahci-platform.txt. Suggested by Andrew Lunn.

 * Made the availability of MBus DRAM window informations
   mandatory. Suggested by Andrew Lunn.

 * Fixed the module alias name. Suggested by Bartlomiej
   Zolnierkiewicz.

Details of the patches:

 * The first patch is a DT binding documentation cleanup. I believe it
   should be taken by the ATA maintainer, because the second patch
   (driver patch) depends on it.

 * The second patch of this series contains the driver itself, which
   is fairly straight-forward. It should be taken by Tejun Heo as the
   ATA maintainer.

 * The last three patches add the Device Tree and defconfig
   changes. They should be taken by the respective ARM maintainers
   (mvebu maintainers for the DT and mvebu_v7_defconfig, and arm-soc
   maintainers for the multi_v7_defconfig change).

Thanks!

Thomas
