Although the changes you have done make sense and it is most certainly a
good idea to split udc core from bus specific glue logic, it is really
hard to review the changes per-se because of the file rename, could that
happen at a later time?

Also, keep in mind that anytime a driver file is renamed, this poses a
backport/maintenance issue where backporting fixes from latest upstream
to a kernel version that has a different file/directory structure is a
major pain.
