OK, I see the patch I mentioned to fix the problem was later reverted [1].
The real fix is "libata: replace sata_settings with devslp_timing" [2].

Yes, please use [2] which can also be found in kernel bugzilla #51881
and is pending on Jeff's acceptance. Sorry for the trouble to you guys.

Thanks for taking care (my latest experiences on LKML/linux-next tell
me even this is no more the fact!)!

Your patch finally hit Linux-Next (next-20130116) and IIRC it is also
marked for previous Linux-kernel releases (CC -stable).
I have tested your patch as said also against Linux v3.8-rcX.

Unfortunately, the applied patch in Linux-Next does not contain any of
my desired Reported-by/Tested-by.
This makes me a bit unhappy, but I do NOT insist on it.

Mr. Torvalds himself pointed several times to all maintainers to
honour people - even they report and ideally report-and-test!

I am doing all my testings in my free-time and I am not paid for it.
I am raping my hardware here!
I can't do more than that!

We definitely appreciate that. The patch in question actually went into the git repository before your report was received. You did not see it in linux-next until my local git repository was pushed out to kernel.org (and thus automatically included in linux-next).

Jeff
