This patch series introduce ACPI support for AHCI platform driver. Existing ACPI support for AHCI assumes the device controller is a PCI device. Since there is no ACPI _CID for generic AHCI controller, the driver could not use it for matching devices. Therefore, this patch introduces a mechanism for drivers to match devices using ACPI _CLS method. _CLS contains PCI-defined class-code.
This patch series also modifies ACPI modalias to add class-code to the exisiting format, which currently only uses _HID and _CIDs. This is required to support loadable modules w/ _CLS.
This patch series is rebased from and tested with:

This topic was discussed earlier here (as part of introducing support for AMD Seattle SATA controller):

Changes from V3 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/8/106) * Instead of introducing new structure acpi_device_cls, add cls into the acpi_device_id, and modify the __acpi_match_device to also match for cls. (per Mika suggestion.) * Add loadable module support, which requires changes in ACPI modalias. (per Mika suggestion.) * Rebased and tested with acpi-5.1-v9
Changes from V2 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/1/5/662) * Update with review comment from Rafael in patch 1/2 * Rebased and tested with acpi-5.1-v8
Changes from V1 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/19/345) * Rebased to 3.19.0-rc2 * Change from acpi_cls in device_driver to acpi_match_cls (Hanjun comment) * Change the matching logic in acpi_driver_match_device() due to the new special PRP0001 _HID. * Simplify the return type of acpi_match_device_cls() to boolean.
Changes from RFC (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/17/446) * Remove #ifdef and make non-ACPI version of the acpi_match_device_cls as inline. (per Arnd) * Simplify logic to retrieve and evaluate _CLS handle. (per Hanjun)
