I don't see anything in booting-without-of.txt that requires cell-index to start
at 0, however, the only other device that starts at 1 is SATA.  Even the SSI
starts at 0:

       - cell-index	  : the SSI, <0> = SSI1, <1> = SSI2, and so on

Although I don't want to make more work for Anton, my vote is to have cell-index
start at 0.  That is the convention.  It's too late to fix SATA, but at least we
can avoid making it worse.
