No, sorry.

I don't want to do it as it works fine on my Renesas upd720202.

Instead of removing this feature completely, you could just use the
first patch and forget the second one. So only NEC hosts will still have
it and I assume there will not any new appear, as they are now Renesas.

Another possibility would be to use the device ID too (for Renesas
devices), mine has 0x0015.

The reason why I really like this feature is that there were already 2-3
firmware updates and since USB 3.0 still isn't that widely used, I
assume more will appear if more people actually start using such devices.
