Handling the special clock 'sclk_sata' is another issue. Please, look at that other 'sclk_*'s are handled. Also, if possible, please add 'the code handling the special clock' to 'ahci_platform.c'. > > Morever there is a wrapper driver to handle the platform specific > things for the sata.Please refer the patch[1] > [1]ata: ti_sata: Add Texas Instruments SATA Wrapper driver > https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/19/166 As Roger Quadros mentioned, 'ti_sata' driver will be dropped. > [2]ahci_imx: add ahci sata support on imx platforms > 'ahci_imx' is necessary, because 'ahci_imx' controls some specific registers.

I think that the platform specific driver like ahci_xxx.c is not necessary, because 'ahci_exynos.c' does not control any special registers.
