BIOS is the word used in the AHCI SPECS so want to stick to this.
The spec being Intel's also says it is a PCI device... BIOS is a type
of firmware.
Ofcourse.

Do you really need another example just for this?
+ compatible = "generic-ahci";
Where's your chip specific compatible string? You would not require a
DT update to fix this if you had that.
Possibly, But we really are not doing anything specific in the ahci driver
which is not generic, that might be the reason why we skipped this in the
first place.
I agree we could solve this issue in more than one way, The only advantage
of this new bindings would be to other platforms benefiting from this
workaround would not have to keep adding a new compatible string into the
ahci-platform driver.
Like Annapurna Alpine platform seems to have the same issue.
Am ok to do it either way.
I'm saying do both. Adding ports-implemented is fine, but add an SoC
compatible string (in the dts, not the driver).
That sounds Good, I will add compatible string in DT and implement
ports-implemented.
