Hello Brian,

When working on another SATA driver that uses libahci_platform, I
noticed an error in this driver; it tries to the the driver data for its
device, while libata also thinks it can set the driver data. See:
ahci_platform_init_host()
-> ata_host_alloc_pinfo()
-> ata_host_alloc()
-> dev_set_drvdata()
So instead of sticking the IP-specific platform data into drvdata, let's
use the plat_data variable that is reserved for this use.

This is ONLY compile tested; I don't have hardware to run. This looks like it
could have ramifications on suspend/resume support, and hot device removal
(e.g., sysfs unbind), so it might qualify as -stable, if someone can test it

Peter, do you have the SATA setup in place to test Brian's patch?
Once tested, you can add my:
