Sorry for a question, I do not understand why the proposed change will 
eliminate the boot delay.
For device that does not respond to GetProtocolRequest(), the origin flow is 
like:
a.1 Timeout occurs for GetProtocolRequest()
a.2 Conditionally execute UsbSetProtocolRequest()

The proposed new flow is like:
b.1 Timeout occurs for GetProtocolRequest()
b.2 Always execute UsbSetProtocolRequest()

Could you help to elaborate on the change? Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Hao Wu
