Oh... That means the data structure fed to the controller by the driver
is misaligned which AFAIK can NOT happen.  All PRBs are allocated during
controller initialization and they're properly aligned.  It could be
that the drive is telling weird things to the controller and got it
confused.

This is controller complaining that what the drive is saying is gibberish.

What happens if you connect the drive to different port on the
controller?  Do errors follow the drive?

Which kernel version and how did you put the drive into sleep?
