ide: Fix pointer arithmetic in hpt3xx driver code (3rd try)
git commit 74811f355f4f69a187fa74892dcf2a684b84ce99 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: 03:06.0 RAID bus controller: HighPoint Technologies, Inc. HPT374 (rev 07) Subsystem: HighPoint Technologies, Inc.
