sata_via: Delay on vt6420 when starting ATAPI DMA write
When writing a disc on certain lite-on dvd-writers (also rebadged as optiarc/LG/...) connected to a vt6420, the ATAPI CDB ends up in the datastream and on the disc, causing silent corruption. Delaying between sending the CDB and starting DMA seems to prevent this. I do not know if there are burners that do not suffer from this, but the patch should be safe for those as well. There are many reports of this issue, but AFAICT no solution was found before.
