For this specific test we don't seem to run a hardreset after the 
autopsy, but we do seem to be getting an NCQ error. That's interesting.

We have noticed this scenario for hisi_sas NCQ error, whereby the 
autopsy decided a reset is not required or useful, such as a medium 
error. Anyway the pm8001 driver relies on the reset being run always for 
the NCQ error. So I am thinking of tweaking sas_ata_link_abort() as follows:

void sas_ata_link_abort(struct domain_device *device)
{
	struct ata_port *ap = device->sata_dev.ap;
	struct ata_link *link = &ap->link;

	link->eh_info.err_mask |= AC_ERR_DEV;
+	link->eh_info.action |= ATA_EH_RESET;
	ata_link_abort(link);
}

This should force a reset.

Thanks,
John
