If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Tejun Heo commit ac70a964b0e22a95af3628c344815857a01461b7 upstream. Some recent Seagate harddrives have firmware bug which causes FLUSH CACHE to timeout under certain circumstances if NCQ is being used. This can be worked around by disabling NCQ and fixed by updating the firmware. Implement ATA_HORKAGE_FIRMWARE_UPDATE and blacklist these devices.
