No. My board isn't using them. As a quick-fix they could be got back
to the generic driver. But please see below.

The only difference between ahci_platform.c and ahci_dwc.c relevant to
these compatibles is in calling the next methods:
 ahci_dwc_check_cap(hpriv);
 ahci_dwc_init_timer(hpriv);
 ahci_dwc_init_dmacr(hpriv);
As a first step on debugging the problem I would comment them out and
try to boot the system with the snps,dwc-ahci device being probed by
the ahci_dwc.c driver.

Let's try to test that out first. Then we can narrow down the scale
by commenting out one of these methods and then up to some parts of
it. What do you think?
