These errors are being address by a series that is about to be applied:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ide/yq134z7577n.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#m255ef5cc9b64b971765e8b6551aacee860fd1325
This series addresses various issues with libata resume, including what you are
seeing above, which causes the drives to fail resume and disappear, or worth, a
hang on resume. Could you please try to apply these patches and test with them ?
The "link is slow to respond" message is fairly normal and overall, there is up
to 1min timeout before giving up on the drive. So this should not be an issue.
If you still see a problem with your system, we can increase the timeout to
avoid that "1st FIS failed" error.
