Heh, what you are describing is the v1 of this series :)

As you probably noticed, the issue is that on Tegra we want to use
tegra_powergate_sequence_power_up to enable the SATA power rail. That
function assumes that it gets a disabled clock and returns with the
clock enabled. If we use ahci_platform's resource management functions,
this is not doable, since it wants to handle clocks by itself.
To be honest, I too would prefer handling the resources in the driver.
The driver needs other resources than what ahci_platform currently
manages (at least reset_controls and multiple regulators, later we might
get more) and managing them in the driver allows the driver to do proper
error handling and manage all resources consistently and in one place.
Also, I don't think it is sensible to add support for loading every
possible kind of DT resource to ahci_platform, since most drivers won't
need them. Other subsystems I've been in don't have this kind of helper
library, so diverging here seems weird.
That said, if you feel strongly about this, I can do what you described.
Thanks,
Mikko

Hans, can you please review this patch?
Done.
Mikko, it looks like you are doing a lot of stuff
the DIY way. I can see there are good reasons for
that though.
Still it would be nice if you could use a little bit
more of the helper functions provided by libahci_platform.c
Specifically I think it would be better if you used
ahci_platform_get_resources, that would remove a lot of
duplicate code from the new driver.
To be specific I would like to suggest that you
raise AHCI_MAX_CLKS to 4, and then specify an order
in which the clks must be listed in the devicetree
binding. Then you can put that order in an enum
and use hpriv->clks[CLK_FOO] in your driver, where
CLK_FOO comes from the enum.
This way you should be able to use ahci_platform_get_resources
and drop doing the iomap of the base registers, all the
clk_gets and the phy_get yourself.
You could then also use ahci_platform_disable_clks() in
tegra_ahci_power_off

Hans
