mojyack e13befb925 pp5020: ata: do not yield in ata_wait_intrq()
Confirmed on iFlash-modded ipodvideo, USB mass storage connections
frequently fail with bus resets during mount on macOS, and trigger
"reset high-speed USB device" errors on Linux during sequential
reads.

The root cause is: storage_read_sectors() calls yield() via
ata_wait_intrq(), which switches to the main thread running
handle_usb_events() loop. This calls send_event(GUI_EVENT_ACTIONUPDATE),
triggering LCD redraw that takes approximately 110ms. This stalls the
ATA DMA completion, causing the USB bulk transfer to time out from the
host's perspective.

This commit removes the yield to prevent the reading thread from being
preempted by the lengthy LCD redraw during DMA completion.

This also improves sequential read throughput from ~13MB/s to ~18MB/s.

Build Your Own Rockbox

1. Clone 'rockbox' from git (or extract a downloaded archive).

   $ git clone git://git.rockbox.org/rockbox

     or

   $ tar xJf rockbox.tar.xz

2. Create a build directory, preferably in the same directory as the firmware/
   and apps/ directories. This is where all generated files will be written.

   $ cd rockbox
   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build

3. Make sure you have mips/m68k/arm-elf-gcc and siblings in the PATH. Make sure
   that you have 'perl' in your PATH too. Your gcc cross compiler needs to be
   a particular version depending on what player you are compiling for. These
   can be generated using the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the
   source.

   $ which arm-elf-eabi-gcc
   $ which perl

4. In your build directory, run the 'tools/configure' script and enter what
   target you want to build for and if you want a debug version or not (and a
   few more questions). It'll prompt you. The debug version is for making a
   gdb version out of it. It is only useful if you run gdb towards your target
   Archos.

   $ ../tools/configure

5. *ploink*. Now you have got a Makefile generated for you.

6. Run 'make' and soon the necessary pieces from the firmware and the apps
   directories have been compiled, linked and scrambled for you.

   $ make
   $ make zip

7. unzip the rockbox.zip on your music player, reboot it and
   *smile*.

If you want to build for more than one target, just create several build
directories and create a setup for each target:

   $ mkdir build-fuzeplus
   $ cd build-fuzeplus
   $ ../tools/configure

   $ mkdir build-xduoox3
   $ cd build-xduoox3
   $ ../tools/configure
