RTL8811AU stops responding during the firmware download on some systems:
[ 809.256440] rtw_8821au 5-2.1:1.0: Firmware version 42.4.0, H2C version 0
[ 812.759142] rtw_8821au 5-2.1:1.0 wlp48s0f4u2u1: renamed from wlan0
[ 837.315388] rtw_8821au 1-4:1.0: write register 0x1ef4 failed with -110
[ 867.524259] rtw_8821au 1-4:1.0: write register 0x1ef8 failed with -110
[ 868.930976] rtw_8821au 5-2.1:1.0 wlp48s0f4u2u1: entered promiscuous mode
[ 897.730952] rtw_8821au 1-4:1.0: write register 0x1efc failed with -110
Each write takes 30 seconds to fail because that's the timeout currently
used for control messages in rtw_usb_write().
In this scenario the firmware download takes at least 2000 seconds.
Because this is done from the USB probe function, the long delay makes
other things in the system hang.
Reduce the timeout to 500 ms. This is the value used by the official USB
wifi drivers from Realtek.
Of course this only makes things hang for ~30 seconds instead of ~30
minutes. It doesn't fix the firmware download.
Tested with RTL8822CU, RTL8812BU, RTL8811CU, RTL8814AU, RTL8811AU,
RTL8812AU, RTL8821AU, RTL8723DU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
