firewire: fw-sbp2: add INQUIRY delay workaround
Several different SBP-2 bridges accept a login early while the IDE device is still powering up. They are therefore unable to respond to SCSI INQUIRY immediately, and the SCSI core has to retry the INQUIRY. One of these retries is typically successful, and all is well. But in case of Momobay FX-3A, the INQUIRY retries tend to fail entirely. This can usually be avoided by waiting a little while after login before letting the SCSI core send the INQUIRY. The old sbp2 driver handles this more gracefully for as yet unknown reasons (perhaps because it waits for fetch agent resets to complete, unlike fw-sbp2 which quickly proceeds after requesting the agent reset). Therefore the workaround is not as much necessary for sbp2. Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson <jwilson@redhat.com>
