In a system with a complex USB infrastrcture (many USB hubs), the
power-on delay of mininimum 1 second for each USB hub results in a quite
big USB scanning time. Many USB devices can deal with much lower
power-on delays. In my test system, even 10ms seems to be enough
for the USB device to get detected correctly. This patch now
reduces the minimum 1 second delay to a minumum of 100ms instead.
This results in a big USB scan time reduction:
Here the numbers for my current board:
Without this patch:
starting USB...
USB0: USB EHCI 1.00
scanning bus 0 for devices... 9 USB Device(s) found
time: 10.822 seconds
With this patch:
starting USB...
USB0: USB EHCI 1.00
scanning bus 0 for devices... 9 USB Device(s) found
time: 6.319 seconds
So ~4.5 seconds of USB scanning time reduction.
I'm not really sure if this patch can be accepted in general as is.
In patch 0d437bca [usb: hub: fix power good delay timing] by Stephen
Warren, this delay was changes according to "Connect Timing ECN.pdf"
to a total of 1 second plus the hub port's power good time. Now its
changes back to 100ms which is a violation of this spec. But still,
for most USB devices this 100ms is more than enough. So its a valid
use-case to lower this time in special (perhaps static) USB
environments.
