    ahci: Expand HDD Logical Block addressability up to 32 bits · fe1f808c

    Currently, this driver uses a 28bit interface to AHCI, this
    limits the number of blocks addressable to 2^28, or the max
    disk size to 512(2^28) or about 137GB. This change allows
    supporting drives up to about 2TB.
    
    Testing this is a bit difficult. There is test code that
    can be inserted into U-Boot that will write test patterns
    into certain unused blocks. These patterns can be manually
    checked using 'dd' after boot. Another way is to confirm the
    original error that exposed this bug is fixed. IOW: see if
    AU (Auto Update) will now work on the drive. Also, check
    that there are no warning messages from the 'cgpt' utility.
