Add DT binding schema for components belonging to the platform-specific
AHCI glue layer implemented in UniPhier SoCs.

This AHCI glue layer works as a sideband logic for the host controller,
including core reset, PHYs, and some signals to the controller.

In PATCH 7/8, you suggested that the node name of "USB glue layer" should
changes to the generic node name "usb@...".

However, in case of this "AHCI glue layer", I can't change
"sata-controller"
to the generic node name "sata@...", because ata/sata-common.yaml has
pattern
"^sata(@.*)?$", and the changed node matches this pattern unintentionally.

This layer isn't a sata host controller, so it's hard to give a generic
name
to this node. I'd like you opinion.

Yeah, I think it's fine. We do not have good names for such nodes.

OK, I leave the name for this node.

Thank you,
