When working on another SATA driver that uses libahci_platform, I noticed an error in this driver; it tries to the the driver data for its device, while libata also thinks it can set the driver data. See:ahci_platform_init_host() -> ata_host_alloc_pinfo() -> ata_host_alloc() -> dev_set_drvdata() So instead of sticking the IP-specific platform data into drvdata, let's use the plat_data variable that is reserved for this use.

Your patch looks sensible, thanks for spotting this issue. Peter, do you have the SATA setup in place to test Brian's patch?
