This [1] is the bogus boot log.

Only doing this:

--- a/drivers/ata/ahci_dwc.c
+++ b/drivers/ata/ahci_dwc.c
@@ -316,12 +316,13 @@ static int ahci_dwc_init_host(struct
ahci_host_priv *hpriv)
  if (rc)
  goto err_disable_resources;
  }
-
+/*

  ahci_dwc_init_timer(hpriv);

  rc = ahci_dwc_init_dmacr(hpriv);
+*/
  if (rc)
  goto err_clear_platform;

and enable CONFIG_AHCI_DWC made the mkfs to detect the SATA drive [2].
