[3.8.y.z extended stable] Patch "ahci: add support for IBM Akebono platform device" has been added to staging queue

[Alistair Popple]

Hi,

I can't see any problem with adding this patch but it's probably pointless - 
support for the Akebono board hasn't been merged yet.

The patch has been dropped from the stable tree (see 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/12/2/735).

Regards,

Alistair
