RE: Broadcom 9460 raid card takes too long at system resuming

[Kashyap Desai]

Hi Chris -

Most likely behavior you explained is associated with how much time FW takes
to be activated.
In case of actual init from fresh boot, FW is already started running once
system is powered on, and user may not be aware of it.
By the time OS boot reach driver load from fresh boot, there was enough time
spend in system bring up.This is not true in case of resume (Hibernation.).
