88SE9130 + Sil3726: not all drives detected on cold boot with power-up in standby enabled

[Pro Backup]

Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04
Kernel: 3.13.0-24-generic
Hardware:
1x Silverstone EC05 = Marvell 88SE9130 (motherboard does not load the Marvell BIOS extension)
1x Dawicontrol PM-6510 = Sil3726 (no RAID configured = port multiplier mode)
5x Hitachi HDS5C3020BLE630 (Firmware Revision: MZ4OAAB0)

Before enabling Power-Up In Standby (PUIS) for each Hitachi HDD there are *five* Hitachi drives detected:
$ lsscsi
[4:0:0:0] disk ATA OCZ-VERTEX 1.3 /dev/sda
[5:0:0:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDS5C302 MZ4O /dev/sdb
[7:0:0:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDS5C302 MZ4O /dev/sdc
[8:0:0:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDS5C302 MZ4O /dev/sdd
[9:0:0:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDS5C302 MZ4O /dev/sde
[10:0:0:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDS5C302 MZ4O /dev/sdf
[12:0:0:0] process Marvell 91xx Config 1.01 -

What I expected to happen was (after turning off the system power, and later on rebooting the system), that this list of detected drives didn't change and that the link speed is 3.0 Gbps.

What happens instead, after enabling Power-Up In Standby for all 5 Hitachi drives && power off && boot, is that only *three* out of five attached Hitachi drives are detected:
$ lsscsi
[4:0:0:0] disk ATA OCZ-VERTEX 1.3 /dev/sda
[5:0:0:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDS5C302 MZ4O /dev/sdb
[7:0:0:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDS5C302 MZ4O /dev/sdc
[9:0:0:0] disk ATA Hitachi HDS5C302 MZ4O /dev/sdd
[12:0:0:0] process Marvell 91xx Config 1.01 -

and the SATA link speed is reduced from "SATA link up 3.0 Gbps" to "SATA link up 1.5 Gbps".

More details:
========
1. "Power-Up In Standby feature set" is available for this Hitachi HDS5C3020BLE630 HDD according to hdparm -I output.

2. Power-Up In Standby (PUIS) was enabled using this command:
$ sudo hdparm -s1 --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing /dev/sd{b,c,d,e,f}

3. Dmesg output before hdparm -s1 --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing /dev/sd{b,c,d,e,f}:

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.16 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.
