CMD646 & cdrom: drive appears confused & drive not ready for command

[Meelis Roos]

I just noticed that all my recent test kernels on Sun Ultra 5 spam dmesg 
with "hdc: drive not ready for command" messages. Oldest logs that I 
have are from 2.6.24-rc4-g94545bad and they are already bad. The 
spamming does not happen right away but some time later, and 
hald-addon-storage is the userspace daemon that polls the cdrom 
regularly. Full dmesg until the spamming begins - notice there are first 
some "drive appears confused" messages right before it happens.

polling - but's already broken anyway).
