[coreboot] [PATCH] Fix SB600 SATA and add support for port 2-4

[Bao, Zheng]

Sorry, I tested it again and tried it on 4 ports. It only works on 1st
and 4th ports, while doesn't work on 2nd and 3rd ports. It loops at
driver no longer selected after 10ms, retrying init
driver no longer selected after 10ms, retrying init
driver no longer selected after 10ms, retrying init
driver no longer selected after 10ms, retrying init
driver no longer selected after 10ms, retrying init


My SATA drive is 250 GB Seagate Barracuda ST3250620NS.

No, there is no timeout. "i" was there to tell me how long it takes, but
I can use it to check for a timeout. I will fix this.

Thanks for telling me. I will clean up and resend. Some indents have
tabs and spaces to have exact indentation at the beginning of the
parentheses.
