To be honest I don't have a good solution to this problem, because
other drivers don't have similar behavior. The marvell driver doesn't
even initialize 'bmdma_addr' before calling 'cable_detect'.

So a simple idea I have is to check if 'bmdma_addr' is 0 before
reading it and if so return the error code ATA_CBL_NONE.
