Yes, this is happening in practice with the PM8006 adapter. ata_eh_analyze_tf()
sets AC_ERR_DEV and later ata_eh_link_autopsy() clears AC_ERR_DEV making
qc->err_mask == 0.
ata_eh_link_autopsy()

Sorry about the confusion. I meant that the "ATA Status Return sense data
descriptor" is not getting populated when ATA_QCFLAG_SENSE_VALID is set
and CK_COND is 0.
What you described is true when CK_COND is 0, however, when CK_COND is 1,
existing code will call ata_gen_passthru_sense() without checking
the "need_sense" value. This will generate fake sk/asc/ascq regardless of
the ATA_QCFLAG_SENSE_VALID flag.

Yes, we see the issue on PM8006 adapter.
Any failed ATA PASS-THROUGH command with CK_COND=1 has this issue. For example,
Sending READ SECTOR(S) EXT via ATA PASS-THROUGH with CK_COND=1 to an lba
that was previously corrupted by WRITE UNCORRECTABLE EXT is supposed to
return "READ ERROR - LBA MARKED BAD BY APPLICATION CLIENT" but instead it
returns generated "UNRECOVERED READ ERROR - AUTO REALLOCATE FAILED".
