[PATCH 0/1] EHCI handoff failure timeout too long

From: Steven Noonan

Hey all. I've got an HP dv5178us notebook with an apparent BIOS
bug in which it doesn't properly report that it's completed the
EHCI handoff. Unfortunately, this causes a 5 second snag at
every boot. This is -much- too long in my opinion.

My resolution for the issue is simply to cut the 5 seconds down
to 0.5 seconds. I am unsure whether changing the timeout is
wise, though, because I suppose it's possible that a buggy BIOS
could announce the success of the handoff -after- the timeout.

Thoughts?
