Above code clearing Bus Master. May be it try to make sure that next
kernel get PCIe in same state in which BIOS could have provided.
Not sure why this is causing issue in our case. Need to debug more.

Ideally shutdown should be added for port freezing/stop. One should
provide ATA in "reset" state to next level kernel.
+static void ahci_shutdown_one(struct pci_dev *pdev)
+{
+ struct ata_host *host = pci_get_drvdata(pdev);
+ int i;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < host->n_ports; i++) {
+ struct ata_port *ap = host->ports[i];
+
+ /* Disable port interrupts */
+ if (ap->ops->freeze)
+ ap->ops->freeze(ap);
+
+ /* Stop the port DMA engines */
+ if (ap->ops->port_stop)
+ ap->ops->port_stop(ap);
+ }
+}
why shutdown function never implemented for ahci.c. Considering
ahci_platform.c does have shutdown.
