Please next time introduce a SoC specific struct to encode the
differences between SoCs. This way you can abstract away the differences
in flags and function callbacks and don't end up with functions which
do completely different things for different SoCs like currently in
imx_sata_clock_enable(). The if (type == SOC_XY) style doesn't scale in
many drivers anymore.
Yea, I was thinking about the same thing when reviewing the patch in the
first time, but decided to not comment on that because currently the
added functions are doing the similar/related thing.  But I agree that
SoC specific structure should be some thing more scalable and we should
go for in the future.
