In case if the platform doesn't have BIOS or a comprehensive firmware
installed then the HBA capability flags will be left uninitialized. As a
good alternative we can define a set AHCI DT-node properties to describe
all of HW-init capabilities flags. Luckily there aren't too many of them.
SSS - Staggered Spin-up support and MPS - Mechanical Presence Switch
support determine the corresponding feature availability for whole HBA by
means of the "hba-sss" and "hba-smps" properties. Each port can have the
"hba-{hpcp,mpsp,cpd,esp,fbscp}" defined indicatating that the port
supports the next functionality: HPCP - HotPlug capable port, MPSP -
Mechanical Presence Switch attached to a port, CPD - Cold Plug detection,
ESP - External SATA Port (eSATA), FBSCP - FIS-based switching capable
port.

Alternatively we could define them as a bitfield, but having a set of
boolean properties seemed a better idea since in that case we can
implement a simple inter-dependency rules for them, which can't be done
should we take the bitfields path.
