Subject: ahci: add support for IBM Akebono platform device

commit 2435dcb98cfe13c246aa27df393e22bc24bbcd20 upstream.

The new IBM Akebono board has a PPC476GTR SoC with an AHCI compliant
SATA controller. This patch adds a compatible property for the new SoC
to the AHCI platform driver.

Hi,

I can't see any problem with adding this patch but it's probably pointless - 
support for the Akebono board hasn't been merged yet.

The patch has been dropped from the stable tree (see 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/12/2/735).

Regards,

Alistair
