Would it be better to replace control_read() and control_write() with
the usbnet_read_cmd() and usbnet_write_cmd() if you are going to clean
this up?

I agree with Bjorn that this microturfing cleanup misses
the real higher level opportunity to use the usbnet_read_cmd()
and usbnet_write_cmd() helpers that already exist.

Over time I am getting more and more weary of laser focused
microscopic cleanups.
