[PATCH] USB: ipaq.c timing parameters 



Adds configurable waiting periods to the ipaq connection code. These are
not needed when the pocketpc device is running normally when plugged in,
but they need extra delays if they are physically connected while
rebooting.

There are two parameters :

* initial_wait : this is the delay before the driver attemts to start the
  connection. This is needed because the pocktpc device takes much
  longer to boot if the driver starts sending control packets too soon.

* connect_retries : this is the number of times the control urb is
  retried before finally giving up. The patch also adds a 1 second delay
  between retries.

I'm not sure if the cases where this patch is useful are general enough
to include this in the kernel.
