Paul pointed out that the 50-ms sleep during OHCI initialization takes up a large fraction of a system's boot time. Things get worse when there are two OHCI controllers present, each requiring 50 ms. However, there really is no need to send a 50-ms reset signal out all the root-hub ports during initialization. The ports themselves will be disabled, and the only way to enable a port is to reset it. Therefore all attached USB devices will receive a proper reset in any case. The controller reset does not need to be long enough to reset those other devices, so the 50-ms delay isn't necessary. Without the delay, there is no remaining incentive for skipping the reset when the controller is already in the RESET state. This patch removes the test, issuing the command unconditionally, and removes the following delay.
