Thanks.

I'm wondering why your configuration takes that much longer to
scan than mine (x86 platform). My USB configuration is not
that different:

=> time usb start
starting USB...
USB0:   USB EHCI 1.00
scanning bus 0 for devices... 9 USB Device(s) found

time: 1.815 seconds
=> usb tree
USB device tree:
  1  Hub (480 Mb/s, 0mA)
  |  u-boot EHCI Host Controller 
  |
  +-2  Hub (480 Mb/s, 0mA)
    |
    +-3  Hub (480 Mb/s, 100mA)
    | |
    | +-7  Hub (12 Mb/s, 100mA)
    |    
    +-4  Hub (480 Mb/s, 0mA)
    | |
    | +-8  Mass Storage (480 Mb/s, 200mA)
    | |    Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 50E549C688C4BE7189942766

    |    6989 Intenso Alu Line EE706F5E
    |  
    +-6  Mass Storage (480 Mb/s, 200mA)
         JetFlash Mass Storage Device 3281440601


And I'm down to less than 2 seconds scanning time. Perhaps
worth digging into at some point. But lets get this version
upstreamed first.

Thanks,
Stefan
