sata_nv: delay on switching between NCQ and non-NCQ commands
PATCH 1/1 sata_nv: delay on switching between NCQ and non-NCQ commands
This patch appears to solve some problems with commands timing out in cases where an NCQ command is immediately followed by a non-NCQ command (or possibly vice versa). This is a rather ugly solution, but until we know more about why this is needed, this is about all we can do.
