The choice of error code is better made inside enable_sata_clock(),
although I'm not really sure what error code to choose.

The error occurs if the PLL fails to lock and would indicate that
something's horribly wrong.

I'm guessing -EIO is probably the right choice.

If you agree, I'll send V2 of "i.MX6: add enable_sata_clock()" and
V3 of "i.MX6: mx6q_sabrelite: add SATA bindings".

Please advise,
