I _did_ elaborate in the original email message. Here's a repeat of
what I said:

Strictly speaking, both the old and the new code are wrong. For all
devices, regardless of speed, we should say:

max = le16_to_cpu(desc->wMaxPacketSize) & 0x7ff;

In other words, the speed is contained in bits 0..10 (not 0..9).

Ugh. For one thing, SuperSpeed runs at 500 million bytes/s, not 400
million. For another, 400 << 20 isn't equal to 400 million.

Don't try to be too clever. Realizing that this is only an
approximation anyway, just say:

/* Bus speed is 500000 bytes/ms, so use a little less */
total = 490000;

There are a few places where a terminating ';' is preceded by an
unnecessary ' ' character.
