[U-Boot] sata_sil Driver on a PowerPC

I am using the 405EX "Kilauea" Evaluation Board from
Applied Micro, and am 
trying to get a Silicon Image 3124 PCIe to SATA adaptor
working on it.

I have modified the Kilauea configuration to include the
sata_sil driver with 
the following in the configuration file:

	#define CONFIG_CMD_SATA
                                                            
                                                            
                                                  
	#define CONFIG_FSL_SATA         1
	#define CONFIG_LIBATA           1
	#define CONFIG_LBA48            1

	#define CONFIG_SYS_SATA_MAX_DEVICE  2

	#define CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION    1
	#define CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION    1
	#define CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION    1

The PCIe identifies SI 3124,

	=> pci 1.0.0
	Scanning PCI devices on bus 1
	BusDevFun  VendorId   DeviceId   Device Class
      Sub-Class
	_____________________________________________________________
	01.00.00   0x1095     0x3132     Mass storage controller
0x80

but the driver won't initialize,

	=>  sata init
	pci_hose_phys_to_bus: invalid physical address
	SATA0 (No RDY)
	       SATA1 (No RDY)


When I boot to Linux and have full access to the drive, so
it doesn't look 
like a hardware issue.

I have been searching the net for a working configuration,
but no luck so far. 
Has anyone successfully used this driver?

BTW, I am using the v2011.12-rc1 build.

John.
