Masoud Sharbiani 62ff2ecf7a ide: Fix pointer arithmetic in hpt3xx driver code (3rd try)
git commit 74811f355f causes crash at
module load (or boot) time on my machine with a hpt374 controller.
The reason for this is that for initializing second controller which sets
(hwif->dev == host->dev[1]) to true (1), adds 1 to a void ptr, which
advances it by one byte instead of advancing it by sizeof(hpt_info) bytes.
Because of this, all initialization functions get corrupted data in info
variable which causes a crash at boot time.

This patch fixes that and makes my machine boot again.

The card itself is a HPT374 raid conroller: Here is the lspci -v output:
