What can be done about this? Is it unreasonable for the mouse probing to take 2 seconds? Should it not be holding the conflicting lock while it is probing? Does the platform matching code really need to hold the lock when it's just comparing the string names of the device and driver?the real thing is to not wait on this while booting; my fastboot git tree has the patches to fix that part..Could you please be more specific?
\ oh btw you could make the mouse be exempt from this waiting that'd be a much simpler/nicer solution ;-)
