Bug in smarctl debug output: should print sense_key=0x1 (Soft_Error, as 
printed in kernel log)

Possible bug in controller Firmware:
this should be:
"72 00 00 00 ..." (No_Error)
instead of:
"72 01 00 00 ..." (Soft_Error).

This explains why the kernel logs this as an error. It does not explain 
why this does not happen with 5.39.

Is an firmware update for this controller available?

Thanks,
