Merge tag 'ata-6.11-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/libata/linux

Pull ata fix from Niklas Cassel:

 - Revert a recent change to sense data generation.

   Sense data can be in either fixed format or descriptor format.

   The D_SENSE bit in the Control mode page controls which format to
   generate. All places but one respected the D_SENSE bit.

   The recent change fixed the one place that didn't respect the D_SENSE
   bit. However, it turns out that hdparm, hddtemp and udisks
   (incorrectly) assumes sense data in descriptor format.

   Therefore, even while the change was technically correct, revert it,
   since even if these user space programs are fixed to (correctly) look
   at the format type before parsing the data, older versions of these
   tools will be around roughly forever.
