Currently, workaround for broken WD drives is applied always, slowing down all drives. And it has a bug - it's not applied after resume. Apply the workaround only if the error really appears (SErr == 0x1000500). This allows unaffected drives to run at full speed (provided that no affected drive is connected to the controller). Also make sure the workaround is re-applied on resume. Tested on VT6421. As SCR registers access is known to cause problems on VT6420 (and I don't have it to test), keep the workaround applied always on VT6420.
