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.

Thanks.
