I believe we should really have a generic way to probe ATA
ports as long as they are compatible to the standard register
set, and use a generic of-ata driver for that. The two
questions arising there are:

1. Should there be a new device-type for ATA? Alternatively
   we would only look at the "compatible" property, maybe
   looking for a generic "ata" name.

2. How do we make sure the of-ata driver and the specific
   (e.g. sata_fsl) driver don't fight over the same devices?
   Would it be enough to reject all known specific devices
   in of_ata_probe?
