That's not what the readme recommends:
“
We do not have large teams of testers, so if you deviate from what is advised in
this README, you'll probably get into untested area, so bugs could show up that

It does work somewhat, but it's a *very* recent that was contributed
(just a couple months ago), so it's very little tested.

Thanks, it's indeed wait for the USB device. I don't think anybody has
tested ehci/ohci, so I'm not really surprised.
