I just re-enable SRST for Sil3726, not the other PMPs. For the other ones where ATA_LFLAG_NO_SRST is still set, we will not issue softreset and therefore will not try to access the spining disk until we send the first identify. For the other PMP where SRST was allowed, I guess the Sil3132 controller would have offline the disks or downgrade the speed unnecessarily. > > * I hope 3726 change is in a separate patch. > > * It waits for reset deadline which currently happens to be 10s. That's correct. I update the description.
