Not the clearest naming I've ever seen. :)
How about NO_BUSY_IRQ?

There is already a note about this being a problem earlier up, so I
don't think we need another.

And what does this add really? Controllers not being able to wait for
the busy state to end is so common that we can just ignore the problem
here.
