libata: waiting for the drives to settle

[Andrei Martynov <andrei.martynov@web.de>]

Hi,

what would be the right place in modern pata driver to implement the
following old code from function do_probe() in ide-probe.c ?

/*
 *  ColdFire platforms boot up so quick that most hard drives
 *  have not completed there own self tests. Pause here for
 *  a couple of seconds if it looks like there is a drive
 *  present...
 */
if (IN_BYTE(IDE_SELECT_REG) != drive->select.all) {
  printk("IDE: waiting for drives to settle...\n");
  for (rc = 0; (rc < 400); rc++) {
    SELECT_DRIVE(hwif,drive);
    ide_delay_50ms();
    if (IN_BYTE(IDE_SELECT_REG) == drive->select.all)
     break;
 }
}

It has to be executed once, so placing it into command handler is
probably not the right solution.
