Really?
Was should happen is the following:
- ncr53c8xx should hang due to looping with phase mismatch condition.
timeout should then trigger a reset and restart operations.
- sym53c8xx should eat the wrong data, throw them away and state
EXTRANEOUS DATA DISCARDED.
And since sym-2.X series (for Linux and FreeBSD) are planned to also
support early NCR chips, only sym53c8xx behaviour is to be considered for
the long run.
