Support for the READ LOG PAGE DMA EXT command is indicated by words 119 and 120 of a device identify data. This is tested in ata_read_log_page() with ata_id_has_read_log_dma_ext() and the READ LOG PAGE DMA command used if the device reports supports for it. However, some devices lie about this support and using the DMA version of the command fails, generating the warning message "READ LOG DMA EXT failed, trying PIO". Since READ LOG PAGE DMA EXT is an optional command, this warning is not at all important but may be scary for the user. Change ata_read_log_page() to suppres this warning and to print an error message if both DMA and PIO attempts failed. With this change, there is no need to print again an error message when ata_read_log_page() returns an error. So simplify the users of this function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
