In case when firmware is not available we can sleep for a few seconds in
work function. That's block keyboard driver who also use common workqueue.
If recent Tejun workqueue rewrite allow to long sleep in work func and
not hurt other workqueue users, patch is ok.

Unfortunately I'm not able to test the patch, my ueagle device was physically
damaged a few months ago.
