This should be applied to every -stable kernel supporting Armada
SoCs.

Could we get a little more specific here?  Please determine which
commit introduced the regression and note it with 'Fixes:
<commitish> "oneline"'

Well, since the DT support for the sata_mv driver precedes SATA
support for Armada SoCs, I'd say that the bug has been introduced by:

a6a6de1a "arm: mvebu: SATA support: SoC-level DT data for Armada
370/XP"

Let me know if you agree with that. I will update the commit message
accorgingly.

In some sense, we could say that this is not a regression. According to
what you mean, SATA hotplug has *never* been working on Armada 370/XP.
So technically, it could be seen as a new feature for this platform,
and is therefore not a regression (i.e something that used to work, and
that no longer works). There has been no kernel release for which SATA
hotplug was working for Armada 370/XP.

Best regards,

Thomas
