Hi there,
this is just a quick follow up as Arch just released the 6.8.1 kernel.
I tested it and as it includes the change it didn't work out of the
box.
I ended up to rebuild both the kernel and ZFS from source (as I
figured out one can not use the standard zfs package built for the
standard kernel with a self-compiled package - and I don't want to use
DKMS). I added the simplest fix I could come up with and commented out
the entire ASMedia block. And although it took me several hours
(roughly 3h) now it all works without issues.

I agree with Andrey on this one: As the number of users like me are
likely not that much the override should work like he mentioned:
default to limit the port count with the override to not limit them.
Nice solution - would love to see that get merged soon into upstream
as compile the kernel and zfs from source just takes quite a long
time.
Have a nice weekend everyone.
