Close, it is related to MAX_HWIFS being upper bound on hws[]
in ide_generic.c but now we loop for ARRAY_SIZE(legacy_bases).

IOW there is a memset(hws, 0, MAX_HWIFS) missing at the top of
ide_generic_init() (please re-test after adding it).

This may also explain the later problems with ide_host_register().

Unfortunately there isn't enough room left (27 bits are occupied ATM)
and having u64 ->dev_flags sucks...
