A filesystem can be placed in each partition.
-config AHCI
- bool "Support SATA controllers with driver model"
- depends on DM
- help
- This enables a uclass for disk controllers in U-Boot. Various driver
- types can use this, such as AHCI/SATA. It does not provide any standard
- operations at present. The block device interface has not been converted
- to driver model.

-config SATA
- bool "Support SATA controllers"
+config HAVE_BLOCK_DEVICE
+ bool "Enable Legacy Block Device"
help
- This enables support for SATA (Serial Advanced Technology
- Attachment), a serial bus standard for connecting to hard drives and
- other storage devices.
+ Some devices require block support whether or not DM is enabled
- SATA replaces PATA (originally just ATA), which stands for Parallel AT
- Attachment, where AT refers to an IBM AT (Advanced Technology)
- computer released in 1984.

- See also CMD_SATA which provides command-line support.

-config SCSI
- bool "Support SCSI controllers"
+config SPL_BLK
+ bool "Support block devices in SPL"
+ depends on SPL_DM && BLK
+ default y
help
- This enables support for SCSI (Small Computer System Interface),
- a parallel interface widely used with storage peripherals such as
- hard drives and optical drives. The SCSI standards define physical
- interfaces as well as protocols for controlling devices and
- tranferring data.

-config DM_SCSI
- bool "Support SCSI controllers with driver model"
- depends on BLK
- help
- This option enables the SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) uclass
- which supports SCSI and SATA HDDs. For every device configuration
- (IDs/LUNs) a block device is created with RAW read/write and
- filesystem support.
+ Enable support for block devices, such as SCSI, MMC and USB
+ flash sticks. These provide a block-level interface which permits
+ reading, writing and (in some cases) erasing blocks. Block
+ devices often have a partition table which allows the device to
+ be partitioned into several areas, called 'partitions' in U-Boot.
+ A filesystem can be placed in each partition.
config BLOCK_CACHE
bool "Use block device cache"
- default n
+ depends on BLK
+ default y
help
This option enables a disk-block cache for all block devices.
This is most useful when accessing filesystems under U-Boot since
it will prevent repeated reads from directory structures and other
filesystem data structures.

Enables support for IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard drives.
This allows access to raw blocks and filesystems on an IDE drive
