With something as new as that, you should not be having a problem of
hardware failing.

So a fairly new kernel then.

All I can suggest is you do some web searching for this issue related
to this version of the kernel and perhaps also seeking help from the
kernel mailing list if you cannot find anything relevant.

Some temporary respite at least!

One thing you could try if you have a spare SATA hard disk, is to
connect that up to the problem ATA controller and see if when something
is connected it shews up correctly identified in the BIOS (if not that
could point to faulty hardware) and what messages if any appear concerning
the connection to the disk which could perhaps be used for better 
diagnosing a kernel libata problem.
