So further (stress) testing of ASM1051 bridges with disks with which they
do work under normal conditions have shown that even with those disks
they can get stuck / hang in a state which can only be recovered by an
unplug + replug (power cycle).

So basically ASM1051 bridges should just never be used together with uas,
which means that this patch can be dropped.

So: self-nak.

I'll respin the second patch in this set to change the log messages a
bit to reflect this new insight.

Hans
