I understand your concern, but I think you also understand mine. So I'm not really asking for general reversal of the logic, but to perhaps make it just a little smarter. The (not generally usable according to what you said earlier) experiment I made was to use the smaller of the two sets - if either set is empty this of course wouldn't be correct. But perhaps, if you have a non-empty port map, that should be preferred over nr_ports? Otherwise, chipset specific knowledge may need to be applied here (i.e. for ESB2, port map ought to always be used)...
