I looked at sata a while back, so here are a few ideas...

Existing sata.h functions should be #ifdef'd out

- init_sata() should be handled by the driver probe() method
- hopefully sata_stop() can be handled by driver remove() method
- the block device can handle read and write
- we probably need sata methods for scan and reset

There is also ahci.h.

There is a sata_sandbox.c driver which you could convert to DM,
perhaps with a new DM_SATA option (like DM_MMC).

Simon
