I can reproduce the problem on uptsream-linux using a PC with Marvell 7042 controller and Sil3726 PMP. Without the SIl3726, it works fine. What I can see on the SATA analyzer [I will send clean trace tomorrow] is the disk send the DATA FIS back to the PMP, but the PMP does not manage to have the data accepted by the host. Non data commands work fine.
