See ata/ahci-platform.txt. We already have child nodes defined as
ports which is essentially a drive (though IIRC SATA can have a mux).
Arguably, we could have both ports and then a drive child under that,
but I've never seen a case of a drive needing DT properties (that
would imply a non-standard connector). So either split this into
separate IDE/PATA and SATA schemas or extend this to work with SATA
ports.

Also, you might consider if you need a regulator property for IDE.

Why do you need to describe the drives in DT for IDE? They are
discoverable, right? And unlike SATA, the power to master and slave is
shared.
