> When we load the driver, we set the last_reset to be in the future,
> which delays the initial driver reset. Additionally, the service task
> isn't scheduled to run automatically until the timer runs out. This
> causes a needless delay of the first reset to begin talking to the
> switch manager.

> We can avoid this by simply not setting last_reset and immediately
> scheduling the service task while in probe. This allows the device to
> wake up faster, and avoids this delay.
