[PATCH v4 1/3] Document the EIC7700 SoC sata ahci

[Yulin Lu <luyulin@eswincomputing.com>]

Document the SATA AHCI controller on the EIC7700 SoC platform,
including descriptions of its hardware configurations.

Retains the "ports-implemented" property in the DTS, because
removing it and relying only on the firmware register causes
problems. If the property is not present and we remove the
module using `rmmod`, a reset is triggered that clears the
register. As a result, inserting module again using `insmod`
will lead to errors.

The detailed reasons are that the ports-implemented register is
configured by the firmware (U-Boot on the HiFive Premier P550 board)
before kernel entry and correctly set to 0x1. During probe,
ahci_platform_enable_resources() -> ahci_platform_deassert_rsts() is
called, and when the driver is removed,
ahci_platform_disable_resources() -> ahci_platform_assert_rsts() is
called. This reset clears the register, which is defined by the IP
databook to reset to 0.
