Spear does not, just rockchip:

arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3568.dtsi:               compatible = "rockchip,rk3568-dwc-ahci", "snps,dwc-ahci";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk356x.dtsi:               compatible = "rockchip,rk3568-dwc-ahci", "snps,dwc-ahci";
arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk356x.dtsi:               compatible = "rockchip,rk3568-dwc-ahci", "snps,dwc-ahci";

So the 3rd entry is never true.

I wish they were useful, but experience has shown they are not.

I imagine most implementations just tie most clocks together.

I guess there's not going to be much new SATA h/w, so perhaps fine 
as-is.
