I think I finally found what was bugging me with it.
Granted, there are cases where we don't want two devices per bus, but
this is a requirement unrelated to the maximum number of busses and
devices: this is simply due to the fact that we're on a SATA, not PATA,
controller.
I think that, rather than modifying IDE_BUS(dev), you should introduce a
CONFIG_SYS_IDE_MAXDEVICE_PER_BUS config option that will limit how many
devices will be probed for on a given bus.
Without this config option, for each bus B there can be up to two
devices, numbered (B*2) and (B*2+1); with the config option, there can
be only one device numbered (B*2). In all cases, IDE_BUS(dev) can remain
defined as (dev >> 1) which will always amount to B.
Amicalement,
