The AHCI driver currently sets the NCQ bit for every command that is issued to
the SATA drive.
This is not needed as there is always only one command active at a time and in
turn can lead
to a hanging AHCI controller (true for Marvel 88SE9170). The following patch
disables the usage of
NCQ completely. With this patch the Marvel AHCI controller works just fine
without any issues.
