Hi Matt, Alan,
Could you please tell me (link would do) why it makes default
delay_use=5
really necessary (from the patch below)?
https://lists.one-eyed-alien.net/pipermail/usb-storage/2004-August/00074

It makes USB boot really painfull and slow :(
I understand there should be a good reason for it. I've tried to find
an answer in
archives, without much success though.
Thanks,
Aleks.

It's basically just like the code says.
A lot of devices choke if you access them too quickly after enumeration.
The 5 second delay seems to be enough for most devices. But we made it
adjustable exactly for people like you.

Lots of devices don't need that delay, but enough of them do that we
decided to add it. The value of 5 seconds was more or less arbitrary; it
was long enough for every device we could test and it didn't seem _too_
long. Maybe 1 second would be long enough -- we just didn't know so we
were conservative.
