This patch is incomplete.

The proper style for multi-line comments is:

		/*
		 * Wait for ...
		 * ...
		 */

Also, "Force" is misspelled.

The patch does not change the code around line 1190 in the original
file:

			/* After above check the port must be connected.
			 * Set appropriate bit thus could put phy into low power
			 * mode if we have tdi_phy_lpm feature
			 */
			temp &= ~PORT_WKCONN_E;
			temp |= PORT_WKDISC_E | PORT_WKOC_E;
			ehci_writel(ehci, temp | PORT_SUSPEND, status_reg);

This code sets the PORT_SUSPEND bit but does not have a 10-ms delay.  
You need to add a delay here.
