Cover letter [PATCH 0/5] imx ahci DT updates + cubox-i eSATA support

The following series adds several DT properties to the iMX ahci driver, which are necessary to configure the electrical characteristics of the SATA interface.

The required electrical characteristics are board dependent, so the existing solution where the parameters are hard-coded for the first board(s) which came along is completely rediculous, and cause their own set of problems: we have to default to these parameters when no properties are given, and it means we have to use negative properties to turn stuff off rather than positive properties to enable features.

Yes, I know that the required Documentation/devicetree file is missing, I couldn't find the existing file to update for this driver with the new properties. :)
