Don't freeze port unconditionally. You'll end up hardresetting on every
error. Just make sure DMA engine is stopped and the controller is in a
sane state. If that fails, then, the port should be frozen.
I'm looking into this now, but so far it seems only a reset
(what Promise calls software reset, I don't know if libata
considers it a soft or hard reset) of the ATA channel will do.

Why always force HARDRESET?
I based that on sata_sil24:
if (sil24_init_port(ap)) {
ata_eh_freeze_port(ap);
ehc->i.action |= ATA_EH_HARDRESET;
}
I interpreted the ATA_EH_HARDRESET as being required due to
the ata_eh_freeze_port(), but perhaps it's only there because
sil24_init_port() returned failure?
A different issue, but of practical importance, is which
libata branch I should base the EH conversion on: #upstream
or #ALL? Andrew Morton's -mm kernels include the ALL patches,
but they in turn include the promise-sata-pata patches, and
there is a conflict between the PATA patch and the EH conversion.
Currently my EH conversion is based on #upstream, and I've ported
the PATA patch to apply on top of it.
It's a tiered system ;-)
* if at all possible, provide patches against the latest linux-2.6.git
* if there are dependencies in #upstream-fixes or #upstream (i.e. I
already applied some of your patches), provide patches against
#upstream-fixes or #upstream
#ALL is a branch that is blown away at will, and is really more of a
testing and akpm sync point. Don't worry about conflicts with
promise-sata-pata, I take care of those when I merge the #ALL branch
together.
