If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit f7cf69ae171592d133c69b9adaa5de7cfb6038ea ] ata_parse_force_one() was incorrectly comparing @p to @endp when it should have been comparing @id. The only consequence is that it may end up using an invalid port number in "libata.force" module param instead of rejecting it.
