Maybe move suspend request to the resume function, as below.

static int ata_port_runtime_resume(struct device *dev)
{
        struct ata_port *ap = to_ata_port(dev);
        int rc;

        rc = ata_port_request_pm(ap, PMSG_ON, ATA_EH_RESET,
                ATA_EHI_NO_AUTOPSY | ATA_EHI_QUIET, 1);

        pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(dev);
        pm_request_autosuspend(dev);

        return rc;
}

Then the fast-path looks like,

@@ -3208,6 +3209,9 @@ int ata_scsi_queuecmd(struct Scsi_Host *shost,
struct scsi_cmnd *cmd)

        ap = ata_shost_to_port(shost);

+       if (pm_runtime_suspended(&ap->tdev))
+               pm_runtime_resume(&ap->tdev);
+
        spin_lock_irqsave(ap->lock, irq_flags);

        ata_scsi_dump_cdb(ap, cmd);

What do you think?
