Commit 842faa6c1a1d6faddf3377948e5cf214812c6c90 fixed error handling during attach by not committing detected device class to dev->class while attaching a new device. However, this change missed the PMP class check in the configuration loop causing a new PMP device to go through ata_dev_configure() as if it were an ATA or ATAPI device. As PMP device doesn't have a regular IDENTIFY data, this makes ata_dev_configure() tries to configure a PMP device using an invalid data. For the most part, it wasn't too harmful and went unnoticed but this ends up clearing dev->flags which may have ATA_DFLAG_AN set by sata_pmp_attach(). This means that SATA_PMP_FEAT_NOTIFY ends up being disabled on PMPs and on PMPs which honor the flag breaks hotplug support. This problem was discovered and reported by Ethan Hsiao.
