    I think it makes sense to just drop the NULL initializers here...

    ... since ide_host_add() won't look beyond hws[i - 1] anyway.

    Same here...

    I wonder if there's an old bug here since I'm not seeing when hws[1] is 
set to non-NULL -- despite there are apparently two ports?

    Indeed, this bug seems to date back to the 'struct ide_host' 
introduction, see this:
