Hi, I have tested the patch with separate port_info and a patch only adding the flag ATA_FLAG_SLAVE_POSS for all controllers. The result is allways the same. The second sata disk is allways /dev/sdb. libata handles this correctly. So i am not sure, that the separate port_info is really necessary. My assumption is a ATA_FLAG_SLAVE_POSS is sufficient for a correct handling. If i am wrong, i will send a patch with separate port_info .
It might be sufficient to just add ATA_FLAG_SLAVE_POSS for all controllers but in general we don't want to sprinkle that flag over controllers which don't actually support slave device - sometimes for safety and also for documentation purpose. So, please make a separate port_info and add ATA_FLAG_SLAVE_POSS only to controllers which actually support slave devices.
