I like 'registering both always and disabling one' approach for partially stolen legacy devices. We can make ->hard_port_no do the job as before, but IMHO it's error-prone and only useful for very limited cases (first legacy port stolen).

Jeff, what do you think?


The reason for hard_port_no's existence is the fact that is can sometimes differ from port_no, and we need to know the "real" port number, as opposed to the port number based on counting probed ports.

If you eliminate the need for hard_port_no, feel free to erase it.
