This causes a regression on Tegra because we explicitly request the
resets after the call to ahci_platform_get_resources().

From a quick look, ahci_mtk and ahci_st are in the same boat, adding the
corresponding maintainers to Cc.

Patrice, Matthias: does SATA still work for you after this patch? This
has been in linux-next since next-20180327.

Given how this is one of the more hardware-specific bits, perhaps a
better way to do this is to move reset handling into a Uniphier driver
much like Tegra, Mediatek and ST?

That said, I don't see SATA support for any of the Socionext hardware
either in the DT bindings or drivers/ata, so perhaps it'd be best to
back this out again until we have something that's more well tested?
