In this case, the first CMD will be timeout for seabios only polling PORT_IRQ_D2H_REG_FIS & PORT_IRQ_PIOS_FIS before triggering error handling which leads AHCI controller is an error state, then the second IDENTIFY CMD cannot be issued by AHCI controller, no ATA device will be detected.

Thanks.  Gerd wrote the AHCI support.  (As well as the XHCI support
referenced in your other report.)  Hopefully he'll be able to comment.
