so I am not 100% sure that doing it this way is the best way.

What is the down side of just enabling interlaced page scan all the
time? And then maybe allow tuning of the timeout via debugfs for testing
purposes.

If we really wanna differentiate between connectable and fast
connectable, then we need to fix up also the controller information to
export this kind of detail. That will get pretty messy right now. So I
would really just prefer to go with interlaced page scan by default and
see what downside this gives us.
