This error is not fatal. It simply means that the drive does not support the
INDENTIFY DEVICE log page. Nothing to worry about.

Attempting to read this log should be avoided in this case though. I will send a
patch to fix that. However, the files you attached show that you are using
kernel 5.12. That is not an LTS kernel (it is EOL), so this kernel will not get
the fix.

Your drive is still detected as supporting NCQ, so I think this is all OK. You
can ignore the read log error, unless your drive is not functional ?
