The reason why it is called Zhaoxin SATA is actually to express that it
applies
to all Zhaoxin support of its separate chipset/SOC, for example,
ZX-100S/ZX-200
chipsets.

As mentioned before, the chipset models this driver serves are ZX-100S
and ZX-200
currently.

Okay, I'll adjust it like this?
...
struct ata_port *ap = link->ap;

Okay, I'll remove this inaccurate description next time.
Thank you.
