When a single device error is detected, the device under the error is indicated
by the error bit set in the DER. There is a one to one mapping between register
bit and devices on Port multiplier(PMP) i.e. bit 0 represents PMP device 0 and
bit 1 represents PMP device 1 etc.

Current implementation treats Device error register value as device number not
set of bits representing multiple device on PMP. It is changed to consider bit
level.
No need to check for each set bit as all command is going to be aborted.

 Changes for v2: Incorporated Sergei Shtylyov's comment
	- Put space after -

 Case when ffs return will never arise.This scenario is already been discussed
 on linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org. Please see below explanation:
 sata_fsl_error_intr() is called during device error.The mentioned scenario
 will never comes. It can be observed via code:-
        if (cereg) {   --> cereg is set on command error. Means there is at least 1 device present.
                abort = 1;
                ---
                ---
                ---
                /* find out the offending link and qc */
                if (ap->nr_pmp_links) {  --> if Port multiplier
                        ---
                        ---
                        if ((ffs(dereg)-1) < ap->nr_pmp_links) {
                ---
                ---
                } else {  -->  Single device
                        dereg = ioread32(hcr_base + DE);
                        iowrite32(dereg, hcr_base + DE);
                        iowrite32(cereg, hcr_base + CE);

This all relies on the hardware working properly, and
nothing else accidentally clearing the device 'error'
bit mask.

Being slightly defensive when the out of range value
causes an array subscript error seems sensible.

It isn't as though the code size or execution time
matters here.
