The CONFIG_DMADEVICES_DEBUG and CONFIG_DMADEVICES_VDEBUG option have quite a large overhead, if this fixed the issue for now you could try to disable them and look if the issue comes back or not. (also, you can drop the mdelay patch if it's still applied). If the issue doesn't come back, you could add your "Tested-by" tag too.
Another thing, the sata dwc driver doesn't yet support NCQ. Do you know if the driver for the Amiga OS does? > so this does appear to be the problem. So, how to fix this? I know, there's an AHB DMA Arbiter. But I can't get any documentation for it from AMCC/APM. Maybe denx.de or someone from the Amiga community knows how to deal with it. In theory, we could try if limiting the burst length, pending dma request count or add code to retry failed dma transfers and reinit the usb-cores would help.
