Bridge, ICH-5, ICH-6 and ICH-7.
Implementation:
1. Code is divided in to two files. All functions, which are
controller specific are kept in "drivers/ata_piix.c" file and
functions, which are not controller specific, are kept in
"common/cmd_sata.c" file.
2. Reading and Writing from the S-ATA drive is done using PIO method.
3. Driver can be configured for 48-bit addressing by defining macro
CONFIG_LBA48, if this macro is not defined driver uses the 28-bit
addressing.
4. S-ATA read function is hooked to the File system, commands like
ext2ls and ext2load file can be used. This has been tested.
5. U-Boot command "SATA_init" is added, which initializes the S-ATA
controller and identifies the S-ATA drives connected to it.
6. U-Boot command "sata" is added, which is used to read/write, print
partition table and get info about the drives present. This I have
implemented in same way as "ide" command is implemented in U-Boot.
7. This driver is for S-ATA in native mode.
8. This driver does not support the Native command queuing and
Hot-plugging.

Old, obsolete and duplicated code was cleaned up and replace by the
new partitioning method. There are two possible approaches now:
* define a single, static partition
* use mtdparts command line option and dynamic partitioning
Default is static partitioning.
- remove trailing white space, trailing empty lines, C++ comments, etc.
- split cmd_boot.c (separate cmd_bdinfo.c and cmd_load.c)
* Patches by Kenneth Johansson, 25 Jun 2003:
- major rework of command structure
(work done mostly by Michal Cendrowski and Joakim Kristiansen)
Fixed rarp boot method for IA32 and other little-endian CPUs.
* Patch by Marc Singer, 28 May 2003:
Added port I/O commands.
* Patch by Matthew McClintock, 28 May 2003
- cpu/mpc824x/start.S: fix relocation code when booting from RAM
- minor patches for utx8245
* Patch by Daniel Engström, 28 May 2003:
x86 update
* Patch by Dave Ellis, 9 May 2003 + 27 May 2003:
add nand flash support to SXNI855T configuration
fix/extend nand flash support:
- fix 'nand erase' command so does not erase bad blocks
- fix 'nand write' command so does not write to bad blocks
- fix nand_probe() so handles no flash detected properly
- add doc/README.nand
- add .jffs2 and .oob options to nand read/write
- add 'nand bad' command to list bad blocks
- add 'clean' option to 'nand erase' to write JFFS2 clean markers
- make NAND read/write faster
* Patch by Rune Torgersen, 23 May 2003:
Update for MPC8266ADS board
Add support for i386 architecture and AMD SC520 board
* Patch by Pierre Aubert, 12 Nov 2002:
Add support for DOS filesystem and booting from DOS floppy disk
