Same here as well, with sata_nv.

The patch comment states:

> This patch implements ata_check_ready(), which takes TF status value
> and determines whether the port is ready or not considering the above

.. but adding a print to the ata_check_ready function shows the status in my
case is systematically 0x7f for all unconnected links. This makes
ata_*_check_ready return 0 where it previously returned 1, and triggers several
hundred retries (over several minutes) before the boot proceeds.
