If there was a failed command, qc->err_mask will be non-zero since the command
completion will be signaled by an error interrupt. So I am confused here. Are
you seeing this happening in practice ? If yes, doing what with which  adapter ?

Same here, this is strange: ATA_QCFLAG_SENSE_VALID indicates that we have sense
data for the command, regardless if the command is passthrough or not. So if
that flag is set, we should not overwrite the already valid sense data with
sense data generated from the error and status bits.
Do you see an issue without this change ? If yes, what are the adapter and
operations you are running ?
