Hans,
can't this be affected also by different disk vendors (drive vendor in
Lenovo laptop can vary even in same model) and different firmware of disks?
Also, drive FW is upgradeable in Lenovo laptops.

I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that the problem might be with
power management, not with SATA per se. On a modern Intel system, an NVMe
device that hasn’t internally gone to sleep will prevent the PCIe link from
going into an ASPM sleep state, and that, in turn, will keep the whole
system from going into a deep PCn state.  I could easily believe that
there’s a bug where nasty ACPI things like brightness hotkeys go terribly
wrong in deep PC states.  I would also believe that the lack of SATA LPM
will also block deep PC states.  And I’d believe that the laptop has an
electrical problem that only affects Linux for mysterious reasons.

As an experiment, could some affected users try running ‘while true; do
true; done” or otherwise pinning a CPU at 100% and seeing if the problem
goes away?
