Judging by what is in [1] and [2] I have much doubt that [1] was
executed with the CONFIG_AHCI_DWC config enabled because the boot log has
nothing about the ahci-dwc driver probe failure or none of the logs
messages seen in [2] (see every line with the ahci-dwc word in it).

1. If you had the device probe procedure failed at some point you
would have got a line like this:
< ahci-dwc: probe of 4a140000.sata failed with error -errno
But there is no such line in [1]. There is literally nothing
AHCI/SATA/SCSI/DWC AHCI/ahci-dwc/etc in it.

2. If you had the DW AHCI device probe at least performed, then the next
calls-chain would have been executed:
ahci_dwc_probe()
+-> ahci_dwc_get_resources()
    +-> ahci_platform_get_resources()
        +-> ...
        +-> devm_regulator_get(...)
        +-> ...
which would have caused the next log messages:
< [] ahci-dwc 4a140000.sata: supply ahci not found, using dummy regulator
< [] ahci-dwc 4a140000.sata: supply phy not found, using dummy regulator
< [] ahci-dwc 4a140000.sata: supply target not found, using dummy regulator
You do have these lines in [2] but missing them in [1]. Should you
have any errors in ahci_dwc_probe() detected before that you would
have an error printed as I noted in 1.

3. Should the problem was in the commented out code lines you would
have at least got the messages above printed to the log [1] because
the commented out code is executed after the resources request
procedure (see the ahci_dwc_init_host() method is called after
ahci_dwc_get_resources()).

4. Finally the commented out code doesn't really do any actions which
could have caused the device probe to silently halt.

All of that makes me thinking that the DW AHCI SATA wasn't even probed
in [1] which most likely means that either the driver config was
omitted there or the device was disabled. So could you please re-start
the system like in [2] but uncomment the lines above?

* Please make sure the Damien's fix
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg1017920.html
isn't applied on the kernel [2].
