[SeaBIOS] [PATCH 0/7] Rework USB device detect timing

This series reworks the timing of USB detection.  Previously, the USB
controllers would wait for the port power to stabilize and then
immiediately check for device presence.  Unfortunately, the USB
specification (USB2 spec) allows for devices to wait up to 100ms from
the time that power is stable to the time they assert their presence.
This series changes the controllers to behave more like the existing
usb-hub code - each port will repeatedly re-check for device presence
for 100ms after power is stable.

This may also help with USB3 device detection.  In particular there
were reports of devices that start off identifying as USB2 and then
later change to a USB3 type device.  The additional polling may catch
these cases.

This series could cause a slight increase in overall boot time (due to
the additional 100ms polling).  However, when SeaBIOS' threads are
enabled, I think only a few unusual corner cases would cause higher
boot times.

The series is a fairly significant change to the initial USB timing
behaviour.  I ran tests on a bunch of USB devices and did not see any
regressions.  More testing would be appreciated.

Kevin O'Connor (7):
  ehci: Move port power up from ehci_hub_detect() to check_ehci_ports().
  usb-hub: Enable power to all ports prior to calling usb_enumerate().
  xhci: Change xhci_hub_detect() to use connect status instead of link
    state.
  uhci: Repeatedly poll for device detect for 100ms.
  ohci: Repeatedly poll for device detect for 100ms.
  ehci: Stall uhci/ohci init only until default port routing is done.
  usb: Perform device detect polling on all usb controllers.
