It looks good to me and is preferable as Niels said.

I think the patch is for minor code refactoring rather than bug fix
since it is unlikely that the rate condition occurs. The bus_reset_work
is synchronously canceled in the beginning of pci_remove().

```
pci_remove()
->cancel_work_sync(&ohci->bus_reset_work);
->fw_core_remove_card(&ohci->card);
->software_reset(ohci);
->free_irq(dev->irq, ohci);
```

But I have no confidence that the above calls are done in the order by
processor...
