The ATA_CMD_READ_LOG_DMA_EXT can cause controller/device to become unresponsive until the next power cycle. This seems to particularly affect IDE to SATA adapters, possibly in combination with certain SATA SSDs, though there might be more/different cases. Comment 5 of https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195895 is an example. Having an option to disable its use allows booting systems affected, which besides being a useful workaround is also a necessary step to allow gathering more debug info on these systems.
