I need to create subnodes for drives connected to PATA
or SATA host controllers, and this needs to be supported
generally, so create a common YAML binding for
"pata-controller" or "sata-controller" that will support
subnodes with drives.

I'm not 100% sure (Rob can answer) but I have *half-guessed* that the process
so far has been that when we define a schema for some generic node name
we also invent some new generic node name like this, or else all the old DTS
files people have will generate (lots of) errors.

The DTS files can then opt in to the schema by simply renaming its nodes
in accordance: "ide" -> "pata-controller", "sata" -> "sata-controller"
(I have such a patch for the Gemini that I made this for.)

If I'm wrong I'll switch to to ide@ and sata@.

Rob?

Yours,

Correct.

The list of generic node names is a lot longer than what we have
schema for currently.

See ata/ahci-platform.txt. We already have child nodes defined as
ports which is essentially a drive (though IIRC SATA can have a mux).
Arguably, we could have both ports and then a drive child under that,
but I've never seen a case of a drive needing DT properties (that
would imply a non-standard connector). So either split this into
separate IDE/PATA and SATA schemas or extend this to work with SATA
ports.

Also, you might consider if you need a regulator property for IDE.

Why do you need to describe the drives in DT for IDE? They are
discoverable, right? And unlike SATA, the power to master and slave is
shared.
