Re: usb/host/pci-quirks: Add option for setting handoff timeout for ehci

[Martin Bammer <mrbm74@gmail.com>]

Yes right. It fails faster, because the bios doesn't handoff the device.
But it's no help for the user that he always has to wait 8s because of a
buggy bios. Although the handoff fails the usb-controller works without
any problems.
