Thank you for all the effort you spent on debugging this!

I think we want to limit the quirk to ASMedia device ID 0x612 (and
probably also 0x611) for now, as that is what you have tested with.

We don't know for sure if the other devices are also broken.
(Even though it seems highely likely that some of them are.)

If the ASMedia guys eventually reply to the other email and tell us
the exactly which device IDs that are affected, then it will be trivial
to apply the quirk for other affected device IDs as well.

I would prefer if you write this as:

if (hpriv->cap & HOST_CAP_64) {
dma_bits = 64;
if (hpriv->flags & AHCI_HFLAG_43BIT_ONLY)
dma_bits = 43;
} else {
dma_bits = 32;
}

Such that we still require the device to advertize 64 bit support,
and the quirk.
If the device does not advertize 64, we don't want it to be possible
to use a mask >32, even if the quirk flag is set.

Otherwise this looks good!

Kind regards,
Niklas
