Match the "brcm,bcm63138-ahci" compatible string in order to allow this
driver to probe on such platforms.

This is a feature and not really a bug fix, is someone specifically
asking for this to be back ported? Also without the matching SATA PHY
driver changes:

7b69fa1c5c930886f8a916cc47096dd4044c007a ("phy: brcm-sata: Add BCM63138
(DSL) PHY init sequence")

this is pretty useless on its own. Same applies to all automatic
selections, not just this kernel obviously.

Ah, I got it from a distro tree but I see the backported the driver too.
I'll drop it, thanks!
