Reenable sending SRST to devices connected behind a Sil3726 PMP.
This allow staggered spinups and handles drives that spins up slowly.

While the drives spin up, the PMP will not accept SRST.
Most controllers reissue the reset until the drive is ready, while
some [Sil3124] returns an error.
In ata_eh_error, wait for the next reset deadline before resetting the ATA
port and trying again.

I hope this can be applied to other controllers too as the failure
mode should be similar for all SIMG PMPs.

Thanks.
