Hello Niklas,

thanks - ok we are assuming that this is something that happens only
on this motherboard for this AMD 0x43EB controller at least for now.
Was your thought also that we restrict disabling lpm only up to the
current BIOS version, and if there are BIOS updates which don't fix
the issue we just bump version number here?
And I guess there are not going to be any firmware updates to the WDC
WD20EFAX-68FB5N0 drive, I understood that you or Damien might know
something about this? This would of course not help if the problem is
in the motherboard.

Best regards, have a great day,
Mikko
