All three flavors of sata_nv's are different in how their hardreset
behaves.

* generic: Hardreset is not reliable.  Link often doesn't come online
  after hardreset.

* nf2/3: A little bit better - link comes online with longer debounce
  timing.  However, nf2/3 can't reliable wait for the first D2H
  Register FIS, so it can't wait for device readiness or classify the
  device after hardreset.  Follow-up SRST required.

* ck804: Hardreset finally works.

The core layer change to prefer hardreset and follow up changes
exposed the above issues and caused various detection regressions for
all three flavors.  This patch, hopefully, fixes all the known issues
and should make sata_nv error handling more reliable.

Forgot to update comment for longer debounce timing required for
nf2/3.  Commit message and comment updated.
