I thought it was BCM7425, but you probably have the resources to check
better than I do.

There were also some small (probably mostly undocumented) bugfixes at
some point. I think the early cores actually had problems with the
upstream libahci. You might look at AHCI_HFLAG_DELAY_ENGINE for that, if
you care.

You might also notice that the "strict-ahci" stuff we were using got
dropped:

commit f1df8641e27b7edb978bdc7aaf50c235bc9e8be9
Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@xxxxxxxxxx>

    ahci_platform: Drop support for ahci-strict platform device type

But that's less relevant, now that there's a proper brcmstb driver.
