Thank you for the patch. 2 remarks:

1) The ata code is maintained by Jens Axboe (added to the Cc) now, this
is a very recent change, which still has to hit MAINTAINERS

2) See below

Please do not remove const here, if you need to make a shared info struct
like this non const you are usually doing something wrong (see below).

The normal way to get specific behavior for a specific ACPI HID is
to put the HID in the ahci_acpi_match table and use the acpi_device_id
field to pass some flags (or a pointer).

So the proper way to fix this is to do something like this:

1) Add:

static const struct ata_port_info ahci_port_info_nolpm = {
.flags = AHCI_FLAG_COMMON | ATA_FLAG_NO_LPM,
.pio_mask = ATA_PIO4,
.udma_mask = ATA_UDMA6,
.port_ops = &ahci_platform_ops,
};

2) Modify ahci_acpi_match table to:

static const struct acpi_device_id ahci_acpi_match[] = {
{ "APMC0D33", (unsigned long)&ahci_port_info_nolpm },
{ ACPI_DEVICE_CLASS(PCI_CLASS_STORAGE_SATA_AHCI, 0xffffff) },
{},
};

3) In ahci_probe() do:

const struct ata_port_info *port;

...

port = acpi_device_get_match_data(dev);
if (!port)
port = &ahci_port_info;

rc = ahci_platform_init_host(pdev, hpriv, port, &ahci_platform_sht);
