There's not really any point in listing all the above properties here, 
because they all have to be listed in the device specific schemas.

The AHCI spec says there's a max of 32 ports, not 5.

If device specific bindings can add their own properties (as this 
allows), then all the common sata-port properties needs to be its own 
schema document. That way the device binding can reference it, define 
extra properties and set 'unevaluatedProperties: false'.

If other properties aren't allowed, then you can just change this to 
false. That's what we had before this change.
