Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH v2] SATA: do not auto-initialize during boot

Rather than have the board code initialize SATA automatically during boot, make the user manually run "sata init". This brings the SATA subsystem in line with common U-Boot policy.

Along these lines, the "is_sata_supported()" hook is no longer needed, so scrub it from the tree.

Can we keep this and just move it into sata_initialize()? It gives us the option on the board code (like on 8536 DS) to have proper runtime detection if the HW is available. (ie as Scott said we might have a dip switch set on the board so SATA isn't enabled).
