I don't follow this at all. Prior to that commit, the bus reset (i.e.,

writel(control & OHCI_CTRL_MASK, base + OHCI_CONTROL);

) was performed unconditionally for _all_ controllers. (However, the
50-ms delay was used only for NVIDIA hardware.) Following that commit,
the reset is performed for all controllers, but only if the HCFS
bitfield is nonzero.

Therefore this reasoning is wrong.

Unfortunately, there is a wide variety of OHCI controller hardware
available. Something that works on one or two controllers might not
work on another.

Besides, doesn't it seem like a bad idea to reset the controller while
leaving devices on the USB bus in whatever state they happened to be?
