Yeah, looks great.  Some minor comments below.

We prolly want to define the timeout as a constant symbol in libata.h
and explain what this is about.

Use bool?

Nothing major but testing LFLAG first would prolly be a better style
given that timeout value is relevant only while the flag is asserted
and some comment would be nice too.

A brief explanation would be nice.

Thanks.
