From: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@xxxxxxxxxxxx> initcall_debug shows that OHCI controllers take ~60ms to probe on Rockchip RK3399 systems: probe of fe3a0000.usb returned 1 after 58941 usecs A few of these can add up to waste non-trivial amounts of time at boot. These host controllers don't provide resources to other drivers, so this shouldn't contribute to exposing race conditions. Chrome OS kernels have carried this patch on some systems for a while without issues. Similar patches have been merged for a variety of (e)MMC host controllers for similar reasons.
