Hi,

We received a bugzilla report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1310682
of partitions being automounted unexpectedly. Testing showed that
8a3e33cf92c7 ("ata: ahci: find eSATA ports and flag them as removable") was responsible.
This seems to be classified as 'breaking' userspace given that this behavior results
in partitions that were previously unmounted now being being mounted unwanted
automatically which is unwanted behavior for the user. Can we revert this patch or
give a fix to change this behavior?

Thanks,
Laura
