This is almost certainly a cabling or termination problem. Fix that problem
and this will go away. In the meantime, I'll try and make the driver more
resilient to this problem, but keep in mind that if you are getting parity
errors, then you can corrupt data anyway, so this is almost a good reason
not to fix the problem but leave the panic in place instead.
