object_dynamic_cast() is expensive; IRQ helpers are certainly
a bad place to call it. Since the device type won't change at
runtime, resolve it once when the AHCI context is initialized
in ahci_init().

By always triggering the "irq" property, it might be possible to push out the above two 
methods to the caller, i.e. the parent PCI device. This would make this device model independent 
from PCI, essentially turning it into an "IP block". At the same time this eliminates the 
need for the dynamic casts and AFAICS would also fix the missing PCI dependency in the Kconfig 
file. I could send a patch.

Oh. Please go ahead, that is appreciated!


Best regards,
Bernhard
