Avoid static checkers warnings about a potential NULL pointer
dereference for the port info variable pi. To do so, test that at least
one port info is available on entry to ata_host_alloc_pinfo() and start
the ata port initialization for loop with pi initialized to a non-NULL
pointer. Within the for loop, get the next port info (if it is not NULL)
after initializing the ata port using the previous port info.

This requires a comment as to why this is necessary.

You lost me... About what exactly ? If it is about how ppi must be used to
initialize pi, the function kdoc comment does explain it.

Note that the last hunk is wrong: there is a potential out of bound array
reference. The condition should be:

		if (j < nr_ports - 1 && ppi[j + 1]) {

Will send an update with that.
