I tried my pioneer cd changer again with 1.3.99 with the aha152x driver...

By inspection, the aha152x driver panics in too many places...

Would it be acceptable to have a flag (i.e. aha152x_panic_flag)
where all calls will fail if the panic flag is set...

This is much better than printing down the machine...

I don't run any hard disks of it, so its acceptable to have an error
strategy where the device goes out to lunch, without bringing
the machine with it (very annoying).
