Well, of course I can't be 100% sure, I had this patch "in storage" for a long 
time and already applied it so some packages I build, but hesitated for quite 
a while if I should submit it.

Additionally, the search string was not too good, it would have been better to 
cite this one here

148f:2573 rt2500usb_init_eeprom: Error

(about 500 hits)

As I am active in several fora and read quite a few more, I stumbled over this 
annoyance (as I said it is not a fatal error) for several times in the past 
few months/years and in all cases I know rt73usb was the working driver.

But of course the problem in such cases is, you can't prove it, you can only 
add more and more examples for "not being wrong" while finding one example 
where actually a device with 148f:2573 working with rt2500usb und not working 
with rt73usb would prove me wrong once and for all.
