Hi,
yes since i am using 3.14 where the READ_LOG_DMA_EXT is not it, it
seems that the controller locks up even on READ_LOG_EXT as PIO.

I have checked the current ERRATA sheet of the CPU but there
are no issues regarding this problem.

Test on a Freescale T4240 show the same behaviour as on P1013/P1022.
It seems that some FSL Cpus are affected.
I have asked my FAE at Freescale if he has some information about
that kind of issue.

Blacklisting the controller would be a solution yes, but I just
wanna wait the answer from the FAE to be sure we really have a
problem.

What kind of identifier can I use for blacklisting? The driver name
from the host driver? (fsl-sata) I did not find any register
in the sata controller to read out an ID.

Regards
Andy
