This sentence has no verb and is unclear. What exactly are you trying to say ?

Then -> Then if ?
Then what ? you are not saying what happen in this case.

was finish -> finishes ?
And ? what happen when that is true ?

That is the issue, but given that all the sentences above are very unclear, it
is hard to understand what conditions lead to this.

Why split that as a different sentence ? Shouldn't this be:

The HBA cannot issue any new command because the PxIS.TFES bit is not cleared.

To avoid this, introduce the function ahci_port_clear_pending_irq() to clear
pending interrupts before executing a COMRESET. This follows the AHCI 1.3.1 -
section 6.2.2.2 specification.
