Some hardware/firmware combinations (most notably an IOGear HWA using the i1480
firmware) kill the host controller after issuing a GET_MAC_PHY_INFO command.
Removing this check seems harmless otherwise.
The patch fixes the issue where the HC is killed, showing the message:
ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: HC died; cleaning up
After this error, USB comes back only after reloading the ehci_hcd module.
