I appreciate that you've removed the checkpatch warning, but this is
still harder to read than the original used to be.

The real problem with this driver is that their abstraction layer is
wrong.  For example:

        /* Interrupt Status */
        status = _nbu2ss_readl(&udc->p_regs->EP_REGS[num].EP_STATUS);

        /* Interrupt Clear */
        _nbu2ss_writel(&udc->p_regs->EP_REGS[num].EP_STATUS, ~status);

If instead this were:

	status = nbu2ss_read_ep_status(udc, num);
	nbu2ss_write_ep_status(udc, num, ~status);

that would be a lot shorter and clearer.  Cleanups along these lines
would be a lot more useful, and would fix the 80 column warning.
