Yes, this was why I sent out the patch.

With that said though, I've tested 860 EVO at that time(on i5-6200U,
so it's an Intel SATA controller) for a few weeks both with
asynchronous trim via f2fs and manual synchronous trim via fstrim.
(Since I was also using TLP, the SATA controller and the SSD was
constantly switching between LPM mode and non-LPM.)
My unit did not have any problem whereas both my previous 850 PRO and
850 EVO suffered from issues.

My 860 EVO was just fine with no problem for about 1.5 year until
later I switched to NVMe.

Given how late the bug reports were made after my patch went into
mainline, I wonder if this is firmware-specific.

Thanks.
