Thanks!

No, they haven't been in use ever. There also isn't any setting to
turn M.2_2 on or off in the BIOS.

Yes, and you can see in the logs, ataX matches the motherboard's SATA
port number.

And even this would disable LPM for the case of
sata ports 5,6 -> WDC WD5000AAKX-001CA0
which works now?
