Ideally, the Linux kernel should get the hardware in its most
untouched state. For the most part, U-Boot does not reset the various
subsystems it touches before boot, and usually Linux deals with it, but
on some boards (cm_fx6) the Linux kernel fails to detect the ssd
correctly if sata is used by U-Boot.
Power off sata on OS boot so that Linux will have a clean state to work
with.
