The ata code has not been clearing PxIS after stopping the engine
(the AHCI spec states that PxIS should be cleared after stopping the
engine, and before issuing COMRESET), since the introduction of the
code that stops the  engine (when ahci was still living under drivers/scsi).

If you really do want a fixes tag:
Fixes: e0bfd149973d ("[PATCH] ahci: stop engine during hard reset")


Kind regards,
