I wonder if this is related to the code

static int nv_hardreset(struct ata_link *link, unsigned int *class,
			unsigned long deadline)
{
	unsigned int dummy;

	/* SATA hardreset fails to retrieve proper device signature on
	 * some controllers.  Don't classify on hardreset.  For more
	 * info, see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3352
	 */
	return sata_sff_hardreset(link, &dummy, deadline);
}

It seems especially suspicious given that 305d2a1a touches
sata_sff_hardreset...
