[MM] Question regarding minimum probing time in MMPluginManager

[Ben Chan <benchan chromium org>]

The following code in MMPluginManager seems to always wait until the
minimum probing time is consumed.

    /* If we didn't use the minimum probing time, wait for it to finish */
    else if (ctx->timeout_id > 0) {
        mm_dbg ("(Plugin Manager) '%s' port probe finished, last one
in device, "
                "but minimum probing time not consumed yet ('%lf'
seconds elapsed)",
                g_udev_device_get_name (port_probe_ctx->port),
                g_timer_elapsed (ctx->timer, NULL));

For a modem with known port layout (assuming we have a way to specify
in the plugin), once all port probes finish, should MMPluginManager
proceed without waiting for the minimum probing time to expire? Is
there a potential downside? The obvious upside is cutting the modem
startup time.

Thanks,
Ben
