I don't see how that could have made any difference.  The Cypress-ATACB 
driver works just like the default driver, except for two commands
(ATA(12) and ATA(16)) neither of which appeared in the usbmon trace.

Your new config enables CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG.  More likely that is 
the reason for the improvement.  Try taking out that one setting (don't 
change anything else) and see what happens.

What do you mean by "from the beginning"?  The ums-cypress driver was
added in 2008.
