Having a single drive on the channel configured as slave is not really a legal configuration.
Sure it is. Not ideal, but "legal" in every respect, and suprisingly common "in the wild" since the early 1990s.
(I believe the ATA standards say that it's something that a host controller/driver/OS is allowed to support, but it is not required to.)
Exactly. Perfectly legal, in other words. If it's not working with libata, then we need to fix libata.
