As following, the scr registers' offset in sata_nv driver is 0x0 & 0x40,
but offset 0x0 in BAR5 memory map of AHCI controller is 'HBA
Capabilities register', the value of this register make the driver
believe there is always a HD drive being connected to port0,so error
happen.
==============================================
NV_PORT0_SCR_REG_OFFSET = 0x00,
NV_PORT1_SCR_REG_OFFSET = 0x40,
