Indeed, good catch...

..but port_map is a mask, not a count of ports. So this would still be wrong.
I think we simply need a small helper that look something like:

int ahci_nr_ports(struct ata_host *host)
{
        struct ahci_host_priv *hpriv = host->private_data;
	int i, n = 0;

	for_each_set_bit(i, &hpriv->port_map, AHCI_MAX_PORTS)
		n++;

	return n;
}

and print that instead together with the mask.
