Since we don't know if the connected accessory is normal or broken, doing port
initialization is necessary.

Since some normal devices will be timeout in the first attempt, I set
the condition to half
of the retries. All the retries will take 12*timeout seconds. It is
too long so that a watchdog
timeout problem may happen.

The enumeration is still needed as above.

Since the quirk is used to stop enumeration and reduce the total time.
If the port has the quirk, I think the port doesn't need to do
set_address after the port gets
failures in the new scheme. It will add 2 attempts * timeout (defined
in hc_driver) seconds.

I will modify it later.

Since hub_port_init() is needed to know if the connected accessory is
normal or not,
I put the hub_port_stop_enumerate() after hub_port_init().
