The driver uses usb_control_msg() for exchanging data with the device.
When the driver lived freeley _outside_ the kernel tree (pre 2.6.21) the
timeouts for these calls where set to 5*HZ for reading, 1HZ for writing.
(These timeouts seemed to work fine for all users of the driver, at
least nobody complained in the last 2 years.
The current code (2.6.21-rc5) removed the 'HZ' from the timeouts and
left the driver with 5 jiffies for reading and 1 jiffy for writing. My
new machine is fast, but not that fast.
The patch also removes a useless debug statement, which was left over
from testing a broken firmware version

The ioctl is commented out for now, until we verify some userspace
application issues.
