Nitpicking your commit comment...

U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux
so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

Thanks,
