This just feels wrong.  These adapters are broken if they can't
translated, and we should not put ATA command submission into
sd.c.

Also avoid all these crazy long lines, and please use the actual
constants.  Using a good old if/else is actually a very good way to
structure the code in a somewhat readable way.

Messed up indentation here.

besides the fact that the statement is fundamentally wrong and you'll
start sending ATA command to random devices.
