I don't believe Sasha or his automation did good job here. It is wrong
to sign-off patches just because of LLM output.

If the check triggers, we'll be breaking someone's audio.

WoL is used for powering up systems, too. Congratulations, this patch
breaks that.

Looking at the code, that should really be "goto out".

Not sure what bug this is supposed to fix. Sounds like preparation for
something we don't have.

First, this does not fix any bugs. Second, code was "cpu_to_le32", now
it is equivalent of "le32_to_cpu".

BTUSB_BARROT is "write only". That value is never checked.
