soc/intel/skl: always enable SataPwrOptEnable
For unknown reasons FSP skips a whole bunch of SIR (SATA Initialization Registers) when SataPwrOptEnable=0, which currently is the default in coreboot and FSP. Even if FSP's default was 1, coreboot would reset it. This can lead to all sorts of problems and errors, for example: - links get lost - only 1.5 or 3 Gbps instead of 6 Gbps - "unaligned write" errors in Linux - ... At least on two boards (supermicro/x11-lga1151-series/x11ssm-f and purism/librem13v2) SATA is not working correctly and showing such symptoms. To let FSP correctly initialize the SATA controller, enable the option SataPwrOptEnable statically. There is no valid reason to disable it, which might break SATA, anyway. Currently, there are no reported issues on CML and CNL, so a change there could not be tested reliably. SKL/KBL was tested successfully without any noticable downsides. Thus, only SKL gets changed for now.
