i have rebased my patch [1], but it seems there are much more errors 
there (which i tried to fix there too).

To be honest marvell is confusing to me finding the right file to patch 
because of many dtsi files included by each other mixed with some 
macros.

at least some properties have to be documented in yaml:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-db.dtb: sata at 540000: Unevaluated 
properties are not allowed ('#address-cells', '#size-cells', 
'dma-coherent', 'iommus' were unexpected)

sata-node itself seems to be defined in 
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-cp11x.dtsi (adress/size-cells and 
dma-coherent are defined here)

iommus seems to be added with
83a3545d9c37 2020-07-15 arm64: dts: marvell: add SMMU support Marcin 
Wojtas  (tag: mvebu-dt64-5.9-1)
which seems not be documented in txt before i converted the binding.

so something like adding this to the binding:

   '#address-cells':
     const: 1

   '#size-cells':
     const: 0

   dma-coherent: true

   iommus:
     maxItems: 1

dma-coherent was there in my version and seem to be broken with

6f997d4bb98b 2022-09-09 dt-bindings: ata: ahci-platform: Move 
dma-coherent to sata-common.yaml Serge Semin

but maybe i only get the error for it because of my call with my yaml 
only

ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- make dtbs_check 
DT_SCHEMA_FILES=Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ata/ahci-platform.yaml

adress/size-cells is strange to me, i'm sure i tested the yaml against 
the example which also contains them...i guess it was defined somewhere 
else.

and this one:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin.dtb: sata at 540000: 
sata-port at 0:phy-names:0: 'sata-phy' was expected
	from schema $id: http://devicetree.org/schemas/ata/ahci-platform.yaml#

i guess it is taken from here:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ata/ahci-common.yaml:107:        
const: sata-phy

if i understand it the right way then if phy-names is defined in 
sata-subnode it has to be value "sata-phy"...so basicly somewhere in the 
chains of dtsi's a phy-name is defined to another value..am i right?

it looks like it is in 
arch/arm64/boot/dts/marvell/armada-8040-mcbin.dtsi...if i drop the 
phy-names for the other sata-ports (below cp1_sata0)

seems dropping them were missing from your patch as you remove another 
one in same file (&cp0_sata0)

please correct me if i'm wrong
