It's an external device attached to a SATA port in order to access more than one SATA-drive. So when it's attached to a SATA port it just extends the port capability while the number of actual SATA ports stays the same. For instance on AHCI controllers the number of actual ports is determined by the CAP.NP field and the PI (Ports Implemented) register. AFAICS in general the maximum number of SATA ports depends on the particular controller implementation. Generic AHCI controller can't have more than 32 ports (since CAP.NP is of 5 bits wide and PI register is 32-bits size), while DWC AHCI SATA controller can't be configured with more than 8 ports activated. So let's discard the SATA ports reg-property restrictions and just make sure that it consists of a single reg-item.
