Could you be more specific what you meant? I don't see
"snps,spear-ahci" and "rockchip,rk3568-dwc-ahci" used with the fallback
string so modification is correct in that case.

My idea was to have the compatible strings with the required generic
fallback "snps,dwc-ahci" for all new devices thus identifying the
controller IP-core origin. But later you said "The generic IP block
fallbacks have proven to be useless." I do agree that functionally it
isn't that often used, but in some cases it can be handy for instance
to implement quirks in the generic code or use the fallback as an
additional info regarding the IP-core origin/version. So if I were you
I wouldn't be that strict about dropping the generic IP-core fallback
identifier. It's much easier to have it specified from the very
beginning than adding it after it has been declared as not required.

Right, but only in the reference to "platform specific clocks" -> "... resets".

DWC SATA reference manual claims there can be resets implemented to
each clock domain.
1) PM-clk <- PM-rst - PM keep-alive clock/reset.
2) aclk/hclk <- aresetn/hresetn - AXI/AHB clock domain/reset.
3) rbc*_clk <- rbc*_rst - PHY Receive Clock domain/reset. (Up to
number of ports <= 8.)
4) asic*_clk <- asic*_rst - PHY Transmit Clock domain/reset. (Up to
number of ports <= 8.)
5) rxoob*_clk <- rxoob*_rst - RxOOB Detection Clock domain/reset. (Up
to number of ports <= 8.)

So to speak the IP-core can be equipped with up to 26 clocks and
resets. Should we be more strict we would have needed to define the
properties with all the names above and permit up to 26 clocks/resets
items. (Do you want it to be done?). In our case for instance there
is "aclk" and a single common "ref" clock for all 3, 4 and 5 domain
(clock 1 is missing).
