Getting there.  A few spots could still use some attention.

Also, you might try running this patch through checkpatch.pl and fixing 
any complaints it makes.

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;
