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.
