Subject: [ 031/117] isci: fix oem parameter validation on single controller skus

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>

commit fc25f79af321c01a739150ba2c09435cf977a63d upstream.

OEM parameters [1] are parsed from the platform option-rom / efi
driver.  By default the driver was validating the parameters for the
dual-controller case, but in single-controller case only the first set
of parameters may be valid.

Limit the validation to the number of actual controllers detected
otherwise the driver may fail to parse the valid parameters leading to
driver-load or runtime failures.

[1] the platform specific set of phy address, configuration,and analog
    tuning values

[stable v3.0+]
