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.

I agree with Kumare - having to run "sata init" manually is annoying. We should auto-run it upon the first "sata" command if it hasn't been called before (but still keep the option to run it manually, for example to (re-) initialize the system after changing the configuration while the system is running).

But its not just sata commands. I know I've used a SATA disk w/ext2 load commands.
