I wonder if it helps to add the Seagate drive to the sata_sil blacklist?

/* TODO firmware versions should be added - eric */
struct sil_drivelist {
        const char * product;
        unsigned int quirk;
} sil_blacklist [] = {
        { "ST320012AS",         SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE },
        { "ST330013AS",         SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE },
        { "ST340017AS",         SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE },
        { "ST360015AS",         SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE },
        { "ST380023AS",         SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE },
        { "ST3120023AS",        SIL_QUIRK_MOD15WRITE },
