Tejun,

No problem. I should be thanking you and your team for all the hard work
writing the drivers for the hardware..

I think this patch might have solved the issue. I did a quick test: warm
rebooted and turned the 4726 on and off 3 times and all disks were
successfully detected each time. I'll do a more thorough test tomorrow
or Sunday.

Thanks
