Soft resets rarely have significant effect with these chips,
so always do a hard reset instead.

Can you give a bit more explanation?

When I hit the existing EH, the system locks up.

When I remove the ata_std_softreset from that line,
it no longer locks up.

It still does have other issues, though, so you could drop
that patch for now, and I'll reissue it when I get round to
fixing that particularly horribly broken part of the driver later.
