ARM: dts: OMAP5 / DRA7: indicate that SATA port 0 is available.
commit 87cb1291 upstream. AHCI provides the register PORTS_IMPL to let the software know which port is supported. The register must be initialized by the bootloader. However in some cases u-boot doesn't properly initialize this value (if it is not compiled with SATA support for example or if the SATA initialization fails). The DTS entry "ports-implemented" can be used to override the value in PORTS_IMPL. Without this patch the SATA will not work in the following two cases: * if there has been a failure to initialize SATA in u-boot. * if ahci_platform module has been removed and re-inserted. The reason is that the content of PORTS_IMPL is lost after the module is removed. I suspect that it's because the controller is reset by the hwmod.
