Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] 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.

Why should we make the user have to do 'sata init'? That seems annoying and easy to forget.
