Cable detection goes wrong and 40c is detected as 80c.  However, we got
(un)lucky and all PIO and short transfers succeed however when large
UDMA transfer starts, the drive detects transmission error and
unfortunately does the right thing - reports transmission error via
check sense.  libata EH currently doesn't analyze sense data and
simplify passes it to sr.  sr knows transmission failure occurred but
there isn't much it can do.
