We just use hpriv->port_map to check port_map is valid and describes
available ports there.

hpriv->port_map is filed by the generic ahci_platform_get_resources()
function when using the new bindings and not by the drivers. port_map is
the input from the drivers.

Well, a had a review a week ago about in the PHY driver saying I should
avoid using fixed sized arrays... And it was in a driver were we know
the maximum number of PHY available.

I think in this case were the number of PHYs depends on the h/w, we should
use a dynamically allocated array.
