can you please use something more specific?  e.g. something like
SKIP_ENGINE_ON_PORT_START and then explain what the flag is about in
the comment?
So you want AHCI_HFLAG_SKIP_ENGINE_ON_PORT_START? That seems
excessively long... how about AHCI_HFLAG_DELAY_ENGINE? (since it
pushes the start engine call back to the error-handling stage)

I agree the STRICT_SPEC name is a little too generic, but I couldn't
immediately come up with something better.
