    libata: Pioneer DVR-216D can't do SETXFER

     Commit 4a5610a04d415ed94af75bb1159d2621d62c8328 fixed an issue with
     the Pioneer DVR-212D not handling SETXFER correctly. An openSUSE user
     reported a similar issue with his DVR-216D that the NOSETXFER horkage
     worked around for him as well.

     This patch adds the DVR-216D (1.08) to the horkage list for NOSETXFER.
