I should add something to my previous email.  This particular section of 
code is protected by:

#ifndef CONFIG_USB_UHCI_SUPPORT_NON_PCI_HC
/* Support PCI only */

So it gets used only in cases where the driver supports just a PCI bus 
-- no other sorts of non-PCI on-chip devices.  But the preceding patch 
in this series changes the Kconfig file to say:

 config USB_UHCI_HCD
	tristate "UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support"
	depends on (USB_PCI && HAS_IOPORT) || USB_UHCI_SUPPORT_NON_PCI_HC

As a result, when the configuration includes support only for PCI 
controllers the driver won't get built unless HAS_IOPORT is set.  Thus 
the no-op case (in this part of the code) can't arise.

Which is a long-winded way of saying that you're right; the UHCI_IN() 
and UHCI_OUT() wrappers aren't needed in this part of the driver.  I 
guess Niklas put them in either for consistency with the rest of the 
code or because it didn't occur to him that they could be omitted.  (And 
I didn't spot it either.)
