commit b29900e6 (AHCI: Make distinct names for ports in /proc/interrupts)
introuded a regression, which resulted Null pointer dereference for achi
host with dummy ports. For ahci ports, when the port is dummy port, its
private_data will be NULL, as ata_dummy_port_ops doesn't support ->port_start.

Hello, Xiaotian.

Thanks for the fix.  A couple comments below.

I think it'd be better to branch on pp.  ie. do "if (pp) desc =
pp->... " instead and then add a comment saying "pp is NULL for
dummies".

Thanks!
