I _did_ elaborate in the original email message.  Here's a repeat of
what I said:

Strictly speaking, both the old and the new code are wrong.  For all
devices, regardless of speed, we should say:

	max = le16_to_cpu(desc->wMaxPacketSize) & 0x7ff;

In other words, the speed is contained in bits 0..10 (not 0..9).

Ugh.  For one thing, SuperSpeed runs at 500 million bytes/s, not 400
million.  For another, 400 << 20 isn't equal to 400 million.

Don't try to be too clever.  Realizing that this is only an 
approximation anyway, just say:

		/* Bus speed is 500000 bytes/ms, so use a little less */
		total = 490000;

There are a few places where a terminating ';' is preceded by an
unnecessary ' ' character.
