Arg. Indeed. Ignore my comment :)

Let's wait to see if there are any more comments and I will queue this
up for 5.17.

Going forward, it would be interesting to work on reversing the default:
no delay by default and mark all old & unknown adapters as needing the
delay. As you mentioned, most modern AHCI adapters most likely do not
need it.

Are you willing to take this and send a patches ?
