In PATCH 7/8, you suggested that the node name of "USB glue layer" should
changes to the generic node name "usb@...".

However, in case of this "AHCI glue layer", I can't change "sata-controller"
to the generic node name "sata@...", because ata/sata-common.yaml has pattern
"^sata(@.*)?$", and the changed node matches this pattern unintentionally.

This layer isn't a sata host controller, so it's hard to give a generic name
to this node. I'd like you opinion.

Thank you,
