As already asked by Paul, please don't top-post:

Firstly, in case we are going to get these patches in these have to be
merged together, otherwise inbetween these two we will have duplicate
functions for the same thing..

Kernel should work/build properly between commits, so that git bisect
works..

Now about this:

> -/* FIXME: Move SATA PHY code into a standalone driver */

I don't think it was just about creating another file for this. Otherwise
how hard is it for the author then?

It was probably more about updating the interface of the sata driver
to accept stub drivers, so that we don't have to keep stuff here.

So, this patch wouldn't fix the FIXME and so better drop this patchset
completely.

Thanks for trying though.
