USB: EHCI: use hrtimer for the periodic schedule This patch (as1573) adds hrtimer support for managing ehci-hcd's periodic schedule. There are two issues to deal with. First, the schedule's state (on or off) must not be changed until the hardware status has caught up with the current command. This is handled by an hrtimer event that polls at 1-ms intervals to see when the Periodic Schedule Status (PSS) flag matches the Periodic Schedule Enable (PSE) value. Second, the schedule should not be turned off as soon as it becomes empty. Turning the schedule on and off takes time, so we want to wait until the schedule has been empty for a suitable period before turning it off. This is handled by an hrtimer event that gets set to expire 10 ms after the periodic schedule becomes empty. The existing code polls (for up to 1125 us and with interrupts disabled!) to check the status, and doesn't implement a delay before turning off the schedule. Furthermore, if the polling fails then the driver decides that the controller has died. This has caused problems for several people; some controllers can take 10 ms or more to turn off their periodic schedules. This patch fixes these issues. It also makes the "broken_periodic" workaround unnecessary; there is no longer any danger of turning off the periodic schedule after it has been on for less than 1 ms.
