Applied to libata/for-3.13.  I didn't cc stable as it doesn't look
like it caused actual problems.  Reading the code, I'm curious how
port_data[] is supposed to work.  It's a static array used throughout
the driver which is zeroed on each probe(), which doesn't make whole
lot of sense - if I connect a second sata_highbank controller in, the
struct used by the first one will be cleared.  Maybe the whole PHY
thing is supposed to be completely static, but if so, it'd be great if
the code is explicitly structured / explained that way.

Thanks.
