At the end of section 10.1 of AHCI spec (rev 1.3), it states

Software shall not set PxCMD.ST to 1 until it is determined that
a functoinal device is present on the port as determined by
PxTFD.STS.BSY=0, PxTFD.STS.DRQ=0 and PxSSTS.DET=3h

Even though most AHCI host controller works without this check,
specific controller will fail under this condition.
