Actually, this is common to many SATA controllers. Lots of them raise
PHY event or hotplug interrupt during COMRESET and they all plug PHY
events from ->freeze.

Hmmm... This is supposed to be handled by setting ap->lock appropriately
and ap->lock already is initialized to &host->lock, so sticking with
ap->lock is the right thing to do.

->freeze() is called with ap->lock held, trying to lock host->lock
inside pdc_sata_enable/disable_hotplug() will result in deadlock. Have
you tested w/ SMP configuration or spinlock debugging turned on?
