The AHCI_HFLAGS are a Linux implementation detail, so it would be nice
to have a good justification for each of these being turned into DT
properties.

Do you mean only add required property now?

Add ahci_platform_get_of_property is considering sharing drivers/ata/ahci_platform.c, refering sdhci_get_of_property in drivers/mmc/host/sdhci-pltfm.c.

The problem we met is different AHCI_HFLAGS required even in one soc series, for example, current version of "hisilicon,hisi-ahci" requires AHCI_HFLAG_NO_FBS | AHCI_HFLAG_NO_NCQ, while next version solve the limitation, and no HFLAG required.
We may need different compatible, or it may simplier just state in dts.
What's more, one common compatible can be used instead of adding specific compatible string.

There is absolutely no reason to mention CAP_* here; the DT should
describe the HW, not Linux internals.
Yes, got it, will remove CAP*.


Do these all make sense to be placed in DT?
Currently, "hisilicon,hisi-ahci" only need AHCI_HFLAG_NO_FBS | AHCI_HFLAG_NO_NCQ.
Just grep AHCI_HFLAG under ata.


I worry that for other quirks we may need more flags in future. For that
reason I'd rather figure this out in the driver based on the compatible
string.
So do we just add no-ncq & no-fbs now?

Yes, it's more accurate.

Thanks for advices.
