If so, can you please add that switching into register mode is okay as

WARN_ON((qc->flags & ATA_QCFLAG_RESULT_TF) && link->sactive)?

More accurately, link->sactive test can be substituted with
(ap->qc_allocated & ~(1 << qc->tag)).

Unfortunately we only get the ata_port and ata_taskfile in the tf_read callback, so I'm not sure if we can do the equivalent of the qc->flags & ATA_QCFLAG_RESULT_TF test (i.e. distinguishing between the error-handling case where we care if we abort outstanding commands and the normal case with a RESULT_TF command where we do)..
