[PATCH] ata: add AMD Seattle platform driver

Hi,

+Examples:
+        sata0 at e0300000 {
+		compatible = "amd,seattle-ahci";
+		reg = <0x0 0xe0300000 0x0 0xf0000>, <0x0 0xe0000078 0x0 0x1>;

Looking at the register values, I doubt that the SGPIO is actually part of the
sata device. More likely, you are pointing in the middle of an actual
GPIO controller.

That address is SGPIO control register for SATA. The current hardware implementation to control activity LED is not ideal.

A57 does not have access to GPIO's connected to backplane controller instead SoC has exposed two SGPIO 
control registers (LSIOC_SGPIO_CONTROL0: 0xE000_0078 and LSIOC_SGPIO_CONTROL1: 0xE000_007C) to A57. All we 
need to do is to program these registers based on the disk activity. The firmware running on A5 reads the values
and generate proper SGPIO timing and toggles the LEDs etc.

These registers are defined in SATA0/1 DSDT resource template and also documented in SoC BKDG. I just noticed that BKDG has wrong register definition so will ask documentation folks to fix that.

This driver is using SGPIO LED control similar to sata_highbank [1] except bit bang GPIO (which is done by firmware).

If so, please implement a GPIO driver for that device, and use the gpio-leds
driver to drive the LEDs. IIRC there is already a generic way to communicate
with the LEDs interface from libata, if not you can implement that in order
to keep the special case out of the platform driver.

This is not a valid property.

The 'reg' property in your example is only 8 bits wide, the above lists
32 bits.
