Hi Hans,

Thanks for the review.

I agree it's a little ugly, but your recommended solution will not work.

The 'top-ctrl' register range includes several SATA functionalities,
some of which are required for the PHY and some of which are definitely
required for the SATA driver. We have:

0x00   VERSION
0x04   BUS_CTRL
0x08   TP_CTRL
0x0C   PHY_CTRL_1
0x10   PHY_CTRL_2
0x14   PHY_CTRL_3
0x18   PHY_CTRL_4
0x1C   TP_OUT
0x20   CLIENT_INIT_CTRL

We *definitely* need the BUS_CTRL register in the SATA driver, since it
controls the endianness of the AHCI register set as well as a few other
important bits we may use in the future. So we can't just "drop" the
"minimal poking" and expect things to work, just because that makes the
device tree look nicer :)

The problem is what to do with the PHY_CTRL registers that are kept in
the middle of the block. These really belong as part of the PHY
power-on/power-off control sequence (i.e., PHY driver).

Do you have any better suggestions that don't involve dropping the
BUS_CTRL register from the SATA driver?

0x458000 to 0x45800f and 0x458080 to 0x4580af belong to a debug
interrupt controller, which handles bus error handling. It's currently
unused, and it definitely doesn't belong here.

The 'phy' register range is actually documented as two sets of identical
registers:

0x458100 - 0x458fff  Port0 SATA PHY registers
0x459100 - 0x459fff  Port1 SATA PHY registers

with a hole between them. I definitely don't want to do the combining
that you suggested, but I could probably split them apart if that really
helps...

(BTW, I realized I have my math wrong, and each port has length 0xf00,
not 0xe00. So the range I posted should actually be <0x458100 0x1f00>.)
