The reason are that I didnt wanted to use the port-regulator, and I didnt want to add new code to ahci_platform.
I tried to place a phy-supply in the ahci node, but it doesnt work (with or without a phy subnode).

Moving PHy code in a dedicated driver seemed to be good, but with all your comments and Maxime's one, it seems not.

I will keep ahci_sunxi as-is and will try to found how to add the needed phy-supply.
