Niklas Cassel 23262cce52 ata: libata-core: Remove support for decreasing the number of ports 
Commit f31871951b ("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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
