Will use hisilicon,peripheral-syscon instead, just thought it is too long.

Change to
- hisilicon,power-reg: offset and bit number within peripheral-syscon,
         register of controlling sata power supply.

Double checked with hardware guy, the registers required to be set are 
same in different board, the value maybe different.
Will move to phy-hix5hd2-sata.c directly and remove hisilicon,reg-init.

Thanks for the suggestions.
