This comes from ata_pci_sff_init_host when it tails to initialize
a port.  There are three cases why it can't initialize the port:

 1) because it is marked as dummy, which is the case for the second
    port of the cypress controller, but you're not using that even
    with the old ide driver, and we'd still not get that message just
    because of that second port.
 2) when ata_resources_present returns false because the BAR has
    a zero start or length
 3) because pcim_iomap_regions() fails.  This prints a warning to the
    log ("failed to request/iomap BARs for port %d (errno=%d)") that you
    should have seen

So the problem here has to be number two.  The legacy ide driver OTOH
seems to lack a lot of these checks, although I'm not sure how it
manages to actually work without those.

Can you show how the BAR assignment for the device looks using lscpi
or a tool of your choice?
