Re: [PATCH] treat AHCI controllers under VMD as part of VMD

Hi Kevin,
I found time to take a look into it closer. I think that it is not complete
solution. Please see my comments.

The SATA behind VMD deserves own type, let say SYS_DEV_SATA_VMD. We cannot use
SYS_DEV_VMD because it will allow to use NVME devices behind VMD in SATA Raid
array. It means that if you have them connected, like:
VMD___ NVME0
    |_ NVME1
    |_ SATA___SATA0
           |__SATA1
You will be able to mix SATA and NVME drives together in RAID. Mdmonitor
could mix them too (if appropriate policy is set). That is not allowed from at
least VROC requirements PoV.

This should be defined in platform-intel.h

Similar logic is already there:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/mdadm/mdadm.git/tree/super-intel.c#n2780
I would like to reuse it instead of adding new code branch. Could you please
extract similar parts to new function and use it in both places?

Thanks,
