ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1

[Borislav Petkov]

Hi all,

a bunch of my boxes started showing this on 3.7-rc1 (and maybe earlier):

[    4.667077] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[    4.675071] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1

Another one:

[    3.325371] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[    3.488602] ata4.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1

This last one is a laptop which suspends/resumes so this message happens
each time the driver gets initialized.

[    1.389734] ata1.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[    1.395031] ata1.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[16825.339587] ata1.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[16825.345835] ata1.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[16842.294983] ata1.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[16842.300513] ata1.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[23628.820487] ata1.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[23628.825556] ata1.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[23661.555111] ata1.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1
[23661.560745] ata1.00: failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x1

Grepping points to:

		/* Obtain SATA Settings page from Identify Device Data Log,
		 * which contains DevSlp timing variables etc.
		 * Exclude old devices with ata_id_has_ncq()
		 */
		if (ata_id_has_ncq(dev->id)) {
			err_mask = ata_read_log_page(dev,
						     ATA_LOG_SATA_ID_DEV_DATA,
						     ATA_LOG_SATA_SETTINGS,
						     dev->sata_settings,
						     1);
			if (err_mask)
				ata_dev_dbg(dev,
					    "failed to get Identify Device Data, Emask 0x%x\n",
					    err_mask);
		}

in ata_dev_configure().

Judging by the logs, it must've came in during this merge window:
