I took the imx driver as example, as I wasn't sure on where to start.
But I don't think it's possible yet without improving ahci_platform as I
suggested in the cover letter. So if ahci_platform needs to be improved,
I guess a separate patch series would be more appropriate?

So would it be acceptable to have this as the 2nd (and last?)
ahci_platform driver and go from there? Or do you want to block new
ahci_XXX drivers until ahci_platform has been improved?
