[PATCH 2/2] ata: Warn about removal of debounce delay in Linux 5.19

From: Paul Menzel
Date: Thu Jan 13 2022 - 10:47:08 EST


The delay is only needed for a few buggy chipsets (PHYs(?)). As 200 ms
is quite a lot in today times, announce the change of the default in
Linux 5.19, and call for tests and reports.
