Dear Mario,

Aren’t 0x7900 and 0x7901 the same device only in different modes? I 
wonder, why different boards and different comments are used.

Additionally, the device 0x7901 is also present in desktop systems like 
Dell OptiPlex 5055 and MSI B350 MORTAR. Is `board_ahci_mobile` the right 
board then? Or should the flag `AHCI_HFLAG_IS_MOBILE` be renamed to 
avoid confusion?

Kind regards,
