I can do that too, but I though u-boot preferred to avoid useless code.

It works fine without, since 2012. In fact this change is not even
mentioned in the log of commit 147271209a9d, so I really don't know why
it was added in the first place. As can be seen in the revert all it
does is adding 2 bytes to the USB packets that are then just skipped.
Seems pretty useless to me.
