Choices we have are... 1. don't delay too much between the softreset and the first hardreset 2. update AHCI softreset such that it succeeds if there's no device as other softresets do. 3. update reset mechanism such that reset methods return -ENODEV if it fails due to missing device such that we can skip retrying during probing and keep retrying during EH. > Additionally, the probe code should IMO take into account the fact that > AHCI reset includes a COMRESET.
