I know, but it might not be enough for encding the slight differences
between i.MX53 and i.MX6. So you say then we would need to different
instances of struct ahci_platform_data, one for i.MX53 and one for
i.MX6. Ok, that works.
Overall I must say that I'm not really happy with giving up control over
the probe function and putting ahci_platform as a midlayer between the
SoC and the ahci lib. Just my 2 cents, if I'm the only one feel free to
ignore me, but maybe there are others that have the same feeling.
