Actually, this patch causes my ATAPI device not to appear initially. It
looks like the libata IDENTIFY is failing. It seems to be a problem
with the initial reset the device needs to get the D2H FIS. This is
what I see:
sas: sas_ata_phy_reset: Found ATAPI device.
ata1.00: ATAPI, max UDMA/66
aic94xx: escb_tasklet_complete: phy5: BYTES_DMAED
aic94xx: STP proto device-to-host FIS:

aic94xx: 0c: 01 00 00 00
