Since I've just missed Jeff's weekly capture window (Mondays, it seems), I'm holding off on the new patches while I work on getting the EH code to fully/correctly handle (single/multiple) PMP error(s). Currently, it just resets the port without doing full NCQ diagnosis for PMP ports, and that has to change. It's a bit complex for this chip (sata_mv) architecture, but doable. If all goes well, there'll be a full patch series out for next Monday. Cheers
