No apparent change in behavior, the first write test resulted in:
[  842.830802] sd 2:0:1:0: [sdb] tag#0 53c80 registers not accessible, device will be reset
[  842.830802] sd 2:0:1:0: [sdb] tag#0 switching to slow handshake

Checking for IRQ after poll_politely2 does not seem right because we can
miss the buffer ready signal.

According to my tests, buffer ready signal is most important - if there is
any data to read/write, do the transfer. If not, only then check why - maybe
we got an IRQ (that terminated PDMA). Or no IRQ, sometimes the wait for buffer
ready times out - we need to terminate PDMA manually then (reset).

Then 53C80 registers should become ready.

This is a log from writing 230 MB file using my code with some debug
prints, on a NCR53C400. No 53C80 timeouts, only disconnects and some host
buffer timeouts (maybe the drive sometimes just slows down without
disconnecting?)
