PHY status if available. 2. TF register R/W test (only promotes presence, never demotes) 3. device signature after reset 4. IDENTIFY failure detection in SFF state machine Combination of the above works well in most cases but recently there have been a few reports where a phantom device causes unnecessary delay during probe. In both cases, PHY status wasn't available. In one case, it passed #2 and #3 and failed IDENTIFY with ATA_ERR which didn't qualify as #4. The other failed #2 but as it passed #3 and #4, it still caused failure. In both cases, phantom device reported diagnostic failure, so these cases can be safely worked around by considering any !ATA_DRQ IDENTIFY failure as NODEV_HINT if diagnostic failure is set.
