[smartmontools-support] Meaning of Device-to-host register FISes sent due to a COMRESET Phy Event counter

Hello list,

I recently exchanged my laptop's Seagate ST500LM000-SSHD-8GB SSHD drive
for a Intel 545s SSD (smartctl -x attached). While monitoring the
counters during the past week, I noticed that in the Phy Event counter
section, the counter "Device-to-host register FISes sent due to a
COMRESET"

  SATA Phy Event Counters (GP Log 0x11)
  ID      Size     Value  Description
  0x0001  2            0  Command failed due to ICRC error
  0x0005  2            0  R_ERR response for non-data FIS
  0x000a  2           21  Device-to-host register FISes sent due to a COMRESET

increases whenever a) the computer is rebooted, b) the computer is put
into standby, but whenver I do (a) the counter just accumulates (as
shown above) while when doing (b) the counter oscillates between 2 and
3. This is under a Linux 4.14.19 kernel on a Thinkpad x240.

Since I'm seeing no ATA errors in dmesg nor performance or other
problems with the device, I imagine that these COMRESETs are just part
of the regular host<>device SATA conversation.

Is this true, or do I have to worry / should exchange the device / fix a
cable or suchlike?

Regards,
Jens.
