Things like this are pretty difficult to reliably reproduce and verify. As a rule of thumb, cases which are reported multiple times and in close proximity with existing entries in product line or firmware revision tend to be included. Given that earlier NCQ implementations didn't actually help performance much (or rather often degraded it) and it has a sibling entry with the same firmware revision, I'm a bit reluctant to lift the blacklist. You can overrided it with kernel parameter "libata.force=P.DD:ncq" where P is the ata port number and DD is the device number.
