Tejun, did this ever go upstream and to -stable ??
I'm asking because I see the same issue with other SATA controllers,
in particular with sata_sil boards.  Hot plug generally works _once_
per port, and then stops working.

The patch is still pending,

I don't think it would be wise to include the patch for -stable tho.
It's not a regression fix and has some possibility of introducing
regressions, so....

Not a regression fix?  Excuse me?
SATA hotplug always used to work fine,
and is more or less essential to reboot-free operations.

Cheers
