This patch series introduce ACPI support for non-PCI AHCI platform driver.
Existing ACPI support for AHCI assumes the device controller is a PCI device.
Also, since there is no ACPI _HID/_CID for generic AHCI controller, the driver
could not use them for matching devices. Therefore, this patch introduces a mechanism
for drivers to match devices using ACPI _CLS method.
This patch series is rebased from:
http://git.linaro.org/leg/acpi/acpi.git acpi-5.1-v6
This topic was discussed earlier here (as part of introducing support for
AMD Seattle SATA controller):

Changes from RFC (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/17/446)
* Remove #ifdef and make non-ACPI version of the acpi_match_device_cls
as inline. (per Arnd)
* Simplify logic to retrieve and evaluate _CLS handle. (per Hanjun)
