Is it possible for ->num_lanes to be zero at this point? If that is
possible, then ->anlt[PRIMARY_LANE] will be NULL but ->backplane_mode
will be set, so won't that cause the mtip_* calls above to pass a
NULL pointer into those functions? Is that safe? Should we trap that
case here?

If that's correct, then I don't see any point in storing
->backplane_mode, since we can then use ->num_lanes > PRIMARY_LANE
or similar instead.

Do we need to use WARN_ON() here, or would it be better to print a short
error-level message?

Again, does this need to be a backtrace-producing WARN_ON()?

Won't ->num_lanes only be non-zero when ->backplane_mode is set, so
isn't the test for ->backplane_mode redundant here?
