[RFC PATCH 0/2] Introduce ACPI support for ahci_platform driver

[Suravee Suthikulpanit]

From: Suravee Suthikulpanit <Suravee.Suthikulpanit@xxxxxxx>

This patch series introduce ACPI support for non-PCI AHCI platform driver.
Existing ACPI support for AHCI assumes the device controller is a PCI device.

Also, since there is no ACPI _HID/_CID for generic AHCI controller, the driver
could not use them for matching devices. Therefore, this patch introduces a mechanism
for drivers to match devices using ACPI _CLS method.

This patch series is rebased from:

    http://git.linaro.org/leg/acpi/acpi.git acpi-5.1-v6

This topic was discussed earlier here (as part of introducing support for
AMD Seattle SATA controller):
