I avoid the "let's do X" structure because "let's do" is a proposal.
The patch actually *does* it, so it's more than a proposal.

Also, it would be helpful to extend this with a note about *why* we
can avoid waiting, i.e., if we can be notified when the link comes up,
we can enumerate downstream devices then instead of waiting here.

I suppose the "global" name is already set by DTs, but the name seems
far too general to me.
