Bjorn,

This one has escaped my radar and I found it recently while I was
searching for something else. I can't recall why this was not done this
way. However I have tried the below code on Keystone and it works fine.

The SATA comes up fine and ahci is able to override the mrrs value as
shown by the log below.

[ 1.581526] ahci 0001:01:00.0: limiting MRRS to 256

If you are fine, I can send a patch for this. Please confirm.
