According to PR 128686, Soren sent you some patches.  So I guess
Soren qualifies as "no one" because his attempt to help failed?

It also would seem that you had 2-3 months to read the Linux code
to identify any hacks necessary to make your unnamed SATA controller
work.

When buying hardware, yes, it is prudent to make sure it is compatible
with the software you intend to use.
