This string already exists, but you are right that it should have been
documented in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ata/ahci-platform.txt.
I will write a patch for that.

I overlooked that point.
However, I just ran a "make ARCH=arm64 defconfig" and it enables
OF_DYNAMIC, so shall we still consider it as a problem?
Would a "select OF_DYNAMIC if ARM64" under "config MVEBU_AHCI" be
appropriate?

My first intention was to allocate a second interrupt at probe time,
but this would have not worked because there is a lot of core code
relying on the number of SATA ports (it has an impact on how the core
deals with interrupts).
Doing what you propose is IMHO too hackish and invasive, it would
impact a lot of core code out of the ahci-platform driver because it is
there that the DT is parsed and the structures are allocated.
Also for non-DT situation, I wonder if that is even possible due to the
fact that most of the libahci_platform code relies on of_ functions,
of_ structures, the number of child nodes, etc.

Yes, but the bindings for ICU interrupts have changed in a near past
from 3 to 2 cells, we removed the ICU_NSR entry because now there is a
"parent" (GICP, SEI, REI) which will help knowing the interrupt
"type".
It is backward-backward-compatiblity :-/

Yes, will be cleaner.

I am not sure this is valid as it would break bisectability. I have not
tested if it actually fails though (will do and split the patch
depending on the outcome).
