Thanks for your patch!

ATA_SFF is a dependency for lots of (S)ATA drivers.
(at least) The following don't use I/O port access:

    CONFIG_SATA_RCAR (arm/arm64)
    CONFIG_PATA_FALCON (m68k/atari and m68k/q40)
    CONFIG_PATA_GAYLE (m68k/amiga)
    CONFIG_PATA_BUDDHA (m68k/amiga)

(at least) The following can use either MMIO or I/O port accesses:

    CONFIG_PATA_PLATFORM (m68k/mac)

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
