This patch seems to be necessary to allow my machine (with an AM53C974
card) to initialise properly. Without it, my Syquest drive gets confused
and locks up the SCSI bus when the kernel starts looking for devices.
It sounds like the AM53C974 driver is resetting the bus but not allowing any
Bus Settle Time. The drivers generally take care of this, since they often
have something to do after the bus settles. Please try adding a delay to
AM53C974_init which I see doesn't have one, and contact the driver author.
