sata_via: Apply WD workaround only when needed on VT6421
Currently, workaround for broken WD drives is applied always, slowing
down all drives. And it has a bug - it's not applied after resume.
Apply the workaround only if the error really appears
(SErr == 0x1000500). This allows unaffected drives to run at full speed
(provided that no affected drive is connected to the controller).
Also make sure the workaround is re-applied on resume.
Tested on VT6421.
As SCR registers access is known to cause problems on VT6420 (and I
don't have it to test), keep the workaround applied always on VT6420.
Unaffected drive (Hitachi HDS721680PLA380):
Before:
$ hdparm -t --direct /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 160 MB in 3.01 seconds = 53.16 MB/sec
After:
$ hdparm -t --direct /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 200 MB in 3.01 seconds = 66.47 MB/sec
Affected drive (WDC WD5003ABYX-18WERA0):
Before:
$ hdparm -t --direct /dev/sda
/dev/sda:
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 180 MB in 3.02 seconds = 59.51 MB/sec
After:
$ hdparm -t --direct /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 156 MB in 3.03 seconds = 51.48 MB/sec
$ hdparm -t --direct /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb:
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 180 MB in 3.02 seconds = 59.64 MB/sec
The first hdparm is slower because of the error:
[ 50.408042] ata5: Incompatible drive: enabling workaround. This slows down transfer rate to ~60 MB/s
[ 50.728052] ata5: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 310)
[ 50.744834] ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133
