Hello,
I've had a look on the dmesg, seems it's not consistent with the description in the PR.
Particularily, there is just one 88SE9230 (not two as indicated in Environment), and it's attached as ahcisata0, with 3 devices in different channels already without any problem in dmesg.
Actually, when I look on dmesg, I see this:
ahcisata0 port 0: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
ahcisata0 port 1: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
ahcisata0 port 7: device present, speed: 1.5Gb/s
ahcisata1 port 0: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
ahcisata1 port 1: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
ahcisata2 port 0: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
ahcisata2 port 1: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
ahcisata3 port 0: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
ahcisata3 port 1: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
ahcisata3 port 2: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
ahcisata3 port 3: device present, speed: 3.0Gb/s
ahcisata3 port 4: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
ahcisata3 port 5: device present, speed: 6.0Gb/s
As far as I can read this, there is more than one device already on each controller, and no WDCTL_RST error in dmesg.
Can you elaborate for which controllers you see the problem again? Also, providing dmesg with PCIVERBOSE would be nice, easier to match.
