 to 5 seconds.

Hi James,

Thank you for the patch.

Could you list the devices that you know about which require this change
?

The USB specification (section 9.2.6.4) requires the device to send the
first data packet within 500ms of reception of the request. A 500ms
timeout may thus be a bit too short for compliant devices, but 5000ms
seems to be a very large margin. I'm wondering if it would make sense to
go for a lower value.
