I confirm this issue, as of 3.8.12 (current debian sid) with the same bridge:
"Abit Serillel" marked on the outside, PCB marked with "serillel2".
The most relevant IC has these markings:
Silicon Image
SataLink
SiL3611CT80
Q31844.1
Q329

In my understanding, it should indeed go in the "if (cdb)" block, as it should
only be needed for ATAPI commands. I don't think lbam/lbah need to be set (or
if they do, it's a different issue), because they are set independently from
DMADIR in atapi_xlat (so ata_exec_internal_sg would have to set them
independently too, probably in the "if (cdb)" block).
I've modified original patch to the attached one, and tested it: drive is
correctly recognised and data can be read from it.
What would be needed to integrate this patch into the kernel ?
Also, why does atapi_dmadir default to disabled ? I'm very unfamiliar with
ata[pi], if there any drawback from enabling it by default to fix such
devices ?
Regards,
