From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
To recognize if we have a receive packet pending we must set up a USB
bulk transfer. When there's no incoming packet we must wait until the
transfer times out. We do this with every poller call which can
considerably slow down the system. With this patch we do two things
against this:
- lower the timeout for the bulk transfer
- When we haven't received a packet for longer then lower the frequency
of calling into the USB stack to once every 100ms
