It doesn't seem to be a problem on 3.0-current...

(of course, it is misreporting my first target; it is a fast and wide
device, so it should be reporting it as 20 MB/s).

I suspect a) this problem isn't actually a problem, in that it's not the
OS that decides if the device will run async, but the card itself, and b)
if you want to get rid of the erroneous output, upgrade to 2.2.5 or
3.0-current.
