Thank you for the patch. 2 remarks:

1) The ata code is maintained by Jens Axboe (added to the Cc) now, this
is a very recent change, which still has to hit MAINTAINERS

2) See below

Please do not remove const here, if you need to make a shared info struct
like this non const you are usually doing something wrong (see below).

The normal way to get specific behavior for a specific ACPI HID is
to put the HID in the ahci_acpi_match table and use the acpi_device_id
field to pass some flags (or a pointer).

So the proper way to fix this is to do something like this:

1) Add:

static const struct ata_port_info ahci_port_info_nolpm = {
        .flags          = AHCI_FLAG_COMMON | ATA_FLAG_NO_LPM,
        .pio_mask       = ATA_PIO4,
        .udma_mask      = ATA_UDMA6,
        .port_ops       = &ahci_platform_ops,
};

2) Modify ahci_acpi_match table to:

static const struct acpi_device_id ahci_acpi_match[] = {
	{ "APMC0D33", (unsigned long)&ahci_port_info_nolpm },
        { ACPI_DEVICE_CLASS(PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_SATA_AHCI, 0xffffff) },
        {},
};

3) In ahci_probe() do:

	const struct ata_port_info *port;

	...

	port = acpi_device_get_match_data(dev);
	if (!port)
		port = &ahci_port_info;

	rc = ahci_platform_init_host(pdev, hpriv, port, &ahci_platform_sht);
