Seems, there is another way of doing a bank spin up / spin down: doing

IMMED=1 on all devices, then on the second pass START_STOP will be
issued with IMMED=0. So the devices will spin up / spin down in the
parallel, but synchronously, hence the needed result will be achieved
And maybe trip the PSU's overcurrent defenses? There is a reason to default
to sequential spin-up for disks...
But on spin down there is no such problem
Of course, it can be user-selectable. But should it be the default?
