I do not see 0x9215 listed. Is this one supposed to work OK with generic AHCI ?

This is a serious hardware bug, but is this issue tied to the fact that the host
is AMD ? Does the same issue happen with different hosts (e.g. Intel, ARM, etc)
? And what about devices ? Do you see this error if you change devices too ? Or
does this happen only with one particular device model/vendor ? (in which case,
the issue could be with the device and not the adapter).

It really looks like this should be done in ahci_qc_complete() instead of here
per qc. And the fact that you need to do this also tend to indicate that the
*device* is sending incorrect SDB FIS... Are you really sure it is an adapter
issue ?

This is not acceptable as-is because this adds overhead for all well-behave
AHCI/SATA adapters that do not have this bug. Given the problem at hand, I am
tempted to suggest that any device attached to these adapters should simply be
marked with ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ to disable NCQ. But even then, if the adapter
raises an interrupt before all data is transferred, things will break.

I am very reluctant to even try to add a workaround such broken adapter, if this
really turns out to be an adapter issue (as opposed to a device issue).

Have you looked at sata_mv.c ? Anything relevant to these adapters in there ?
