It's a bit difficult to tell what exactly changed because of the
additional move. The move looks correct because this is only valid for
USB2 ports, but I think it'd be easier to review if the move was done
prior to the addition of the ->driver clearing. Or perhaps a mention in
the commit message would be nice.

It's obviously up to Vinod and Kishon if they want to see this
clarified. Either way is fine with me, so:
