Writing to confirm that the pre patches for 5.1.0 have indeed made a difference for my system. I was getting devices to come up randomly using the default 2.0.34 kernel driver (5.0.14?). With 5.0.19, nothing would come up.
Installing 5.1.0pre2 has put me in the position where I can now boot-up though I haven't rebooted enough times to be sure that it is 100% reliable yet (i.e. not the situation I had with 5.0.14).
This is on an AHA-2940UW with PPro/440FX chipset using default aic7xxx.c #defines.
Thanks.
