libata-sff.c checks for legacy mode by testing if both primary
and secondary ports on a controller are in legacy mode and selects
legacy if either one is. However on some southbridge chips (e.g
AMD SB600/SB700) the secondary port is not wired, and when it is
disabled by setting the disable bit in the PCI header it appears
as a fixed legacy port.
Prevent incorrect detection by not testing ports that are marked
as 'dummy'
