Kind regards, Niklas

So you are relying on the caller to have zeroed the memory upfront. But what happens if the caller allocated n_ports, zeroed the memory up to that point, and then filled in all 'ports' slots? ports[n_ports - 1] is set to a pointer, but ports[n_ports] is _not_ allocated, and there is no guarantee it'll be zero. Causing a memory overrun and all sorts of things. This needs to go, as it's now pointless anyway. Cheers, Hannes

Commit f31871951b38 ("libata: separate out ata_host_alloc() and ata_host_register()") added ata_host_alloc(), where the API allowed a LLD to overallocate the number of ports supplied to ata_host_alloc(), as long as the LLD decreased host->n_ports before calling ata_host_register(). However, this functionally has never ever been used by a single LLD. Because of the current API design, the assignment of ap->print_id is deferred until registration time, which is bad, because that means that the ata_port_*() print functions cannot be used by a LLD until after registration time, which means that a LLD is forced to use a print function that is non-port specific, even for a port specific error. Remove the support for decreasing the number of ports, such that it will be possible to assign ap->print_id earlier.
