Tested this patch on todays linux-next tag: next-20221014 without enabling
CONFIG_AHCI_DWC and it worked as expected when booting [1].
On the other hand I also tried a build/boot with CONFIG_AHCI_DWC enabled
and it worked as expected to boot [2]. However, during building a
warning [3] popped up:

make --silent --keep-going --jobs=8

CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- 'CC=sccache

defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
