Hmm... so it's retrying w/o extending deadline if the link is reported
to be offline.  This definitely needs comment explaining what's going
on.  Wouldn't it make more sense to change @timing instead rather than
retrying resets?  sata_sil24 already does something similar.  Does,
f.e., using sata_deb_timing_long for @timing make the problem go away?

Thanks.
