This is odd, in that it resolves down to usb_read_mem which does
nothing at all.

And then no one calls this at all either?

How about removing the io ops that are not used at all first, one at a
time, making it obvious what is happening, and then convert the ones
that are used one at a time, and when all is done, then removing the
structure?


Just have started to cut one big patch to smaller ones and does it make sense to group changes like: one for usb_read*, one for usb_write* and one for usb_port*? I think, it would be cleaner and series won't be too big.


What do you think?
