Apart from addressing the issue with timeouts exceeding the limit of
30000 msec discussed lately, I have also simplified the crucial
if-clause in ata_scsi_park_show(). Both changes are given below.
Assuming that you don't have any objections, I'll just go ahead and
submit the updated patch series shortly.

Elias

Changed to:

	if (ap->pflags & ATA_PFLAG_EH_IN_PROGRESS &&
	    link->eh_context.unloaded_mask & (1 << dev->devno) &&
	    time_after(dev->unpark_deadline, jiffies))

Changed to:

	if (rc || input < -2)
		return -EINVAL;
	if (input > ATA_TMOUT_MAX_PARK) {
		rc = -EOVERFLOW;
		input = ATA_TMOUT_MAX_PARK;
	}
