Sure, you need the patch before, i.e. e9f691d899^:
commit 95364f36701e62dd50eee91e1303187fd1a9f567
Author: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@...nel.org>
Date:   Thu Oct 31 10:59:45 2019 +0100

    ata: make qc_prep return ata_completion_errors



And that needs one more patch e9f691d899^^:

commit 25937580a5065d6fbd92d9c8ebd47145ad80052e
Author: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@...nel.org>
Date:   Thu Oct 31 10:59:44 2019 +0100

    ata: define AC_ERR_OK

thanks,
