Which revision?  The 1542B that I have doesn't need this delay.  The
probe string will tell you the revision.

: As Graham Menhennitt said: "Could somebody please commit this change"

Been there, done that.  Justin and I have been talking about a better
way to deal with this problem than putting in a magic delay.  There
may be another round of patches for the folks with the problem 1542B
cards to test.

: fuzz: {1} diff /sys/dev/aha/aha.c.orig /sys/dev/aha/aha.c

diff -u generally produces better results.  Also, I have a better
comment stating that a delay to 1000 works, but 10mS is very long in
card time, but very short in probe time.  There was a similar delay in
the old driver in places, but I've not looked closely enough to know
if this was one of the places or not.
