   This is called a request, not a command by the spec. And the USB spec
names the requests in all uppercase, e.g. SET_ADDRESS...

   This section in the USB specs 1.1/2.0/3.0 talks about _all_ requests.
I don't have USB 3.2 but It believe it has the same wording.

   Please, "The SET_ADDRESS request" instead...

   What address device command? Are you sure you're not mixing
the USB and xHCI terminologies?

   Same here. This is a generic USB file, not the xHCI driver...

   You seem to be converting the existing comment to a kernel-doc one
