Linux 2.1.105 introduced the USLEEP_WAITLONG delay, apparently "needed for Mustek scanners". It is intended to stall the issue queue for 5 seconds. There are a number of problems with this. 1. Only g_NCR5380 enables the delay, which implies that the other five drivers using the NCR5380.c core driver remain incompatible with Mustek scanners. 2. The delay is not implemented by atari_NCR5380.c, which is problematic for re-unifying the two core driver forks. 3. The delay is implemented using NCR5380_set_timer() which makes it unreliable. A new command queued by the mid-layer cancels the delay. 4. The delay is applied indiscriminately in several situations in which NCR5380_select() returns -1. These are-- reselection by the target, failure of the target to assert BSY, and failure of the target to assert REQ. It's clear from the comments that USLEEP_WAITLONG is not relevant to the reselection case. And reportedly, these scanners do not disconnect. 5. atari_NCR5380.c was forked before Linux 2.1.105, so it was spared some of the damage done to NCR5380.c. In this case, the atari_NCR5380.c core driver was more standard-compliant and may not have needed any workaround like the USLEEP_WAITLONG kludge. The compliance issue was addressed in the previous patch. If these scanners still don't work, we need a better solution. Retrying selection until EH aborts a command offers equivalent robustness. Bugs in the existing driver prevent EH working correctly but this is addressed in a subsequent patch. Remove USLEEP_WAITLONG.
