problem with usb memory stick (with patch)

[Michal Mertl]

Hello all,

I've got a USB 2.0 memory stick which doesn't attach correctly.

On failed attach I get the following in the messages:

Quite a long time ago I found out that the stick works when I delay the
attachment a bit - increasing USB_PORT_POWERUP_DELAY (in
src/sys/dev/usb/usb.h) from 300 to 1000 helps. I found another, probably
a bit more elegant, solution - I invented a new quirk and put it into
use in umass.c which delays the scsi attachment in umass_cam_attach.

There's a comment just above the callout (which firing after longer
delay is the main part of the "fix") which reads:

/* Notify CAM of the new device after a short delay. Any
 * failure is benign, as the user can still do it byhand
 * (camcontrol rescan <busno>). Only do this if we are not
 * booting, because CAM does a scan after booting has
 * completed, when interrupts have been enabled.
 */

The comment isn't probably correct - no 'eject', 'stop', 'rescan' or
'reset' will ever fix the stick for me.

I don't know if the problem is specific to my USB device. If it is than
the quirk might be appropriate solution but if other devices need the
pause too (and maybe even much longer) than fixing the code some other
way (to make the comment true?) might be better.
