Thanks, I missed that the Signed-off-by got lost, and thanks for testing.
I actually wanted to ask (e.g. Damien?), would you like me to split out the fully
tested and confirmed working and necessary libata-core change
from the other changes?
I am quite confident that all the code modified was wrong before,
however it could be that some of the code actually relies
on that bug to cancel out further bugs, so fixing could well break more
than it fixes...

Best regards,
Reimar
