[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 17/22] ahci: Adjust SATA timeouts for hard disk (spinup delay & command timeout)

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org

From: Walter Murphy <wmurphy at google.com>

Note: These are timeout values and not delay values, so the event being
timed out will complete whenever it is actually ready, with a
measurement granularity of 1 millisecond, up till the timeout value.
Therefore, there is no effect on SSD booting.

The values were determined by instrumenting the code and measuring the
actual time taken by several different models of HDD for each of the
parameters and then adding 50% more for the spinup value and just
doubling the command timeout value.
