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

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?

  drivers/usb/host/pci-quirks.c: wait for EHCI handoff far too long in
    quirk_usb_disable_ehci()
