If reverting these patches restores the eSATA port on this board, then you need to fix the defconfig for that board.
OTOH, Anders, enabled the new config CONFIG_AHCI_DWC=y and tried but the device failed to boot.
I thought it would work with enabling CONFIG_AHCI_DWC=y, but it didn't...
As mentioned in my previous reply to Naresh, this is a new driver added in 6.1. Your board was working before so this should not be the driver needed for it.
However, reverting patch 33629d35090f ("ata: ahci: Add DWC AHCI SATA controller support") from next-20221013 was a success, kernel booted and the 'mkfs.ext4' cmd was successful.
Which is very strange... There is only one hunk in that commit that could be considered suspicious:

Is your board using one of these compatible string ?
The x15 uses "snps,dwc-ahci". I would expect it to detect the device with the new driver if that is loaded, but it's possible that the driver does not work on all versions of the dwc-ahci hardware.
Anders, can you provide the boot log from a boot with the new driver built in? There should be some messages from dwc-ahci about finding the device, but then not ultimately working.
Yes. The boot-log would be very useful.
Depending on which way it goes wrong, the safest fallback for 6.1 is probably to move the "snps,spear-ahci" and "snps,dwc-ahci" compatible strings back into the old driver, and leave the new one only for the "baikal,bt1-ahci" implementation of it, until it has been successfully verified on TI am5/dra7, spear13xx and exynos.
Right. This would be a possible solution. But I'd rather suggest to at least try to debug the problem.
