Moving code into a new sub-function would be okay.

BTW, you don't need to post these patches to both linux-usb and LKML.  
linux-usb alone is good enough.  Nothing about the patches would be
especially interesting to a general Linux kernel programmer, so there's 
no point in bringing them to everybody's attention.
