Subject: [PATCH libata/for-4.5-fixes] libata-sff: use WARN instead of BUG on
 illegal host state machine state

>From a588afc920bc50e894f6ae2874c4281c795e0979 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

ata_sff_hsm_move() triggers BUG if it sees a host state machine state
that it dind't expect.  The risk for data corruption when the
condition occurs is low as it's highly unlikely that it would lead to
spurious completion of commands.  The BUG occasionally triggered for
subtle race conditions in the driver.  Let's downgrade it to WARN so
that it doesn't kill the machine unnecessarily.
