And that blog post is 5 years old!

Okay, I think we can go ahead and make this change. However, you
should update the patch description to mention what Microsoft did in
Windows 8 and say that the new behavior matches theirs.

Also, as Roger mentioned, you should update the documentation to say
that the old_scheme_first module parameter now applies only to low- and
full-speed devices, since high- and SuperSpeed devices always use the
old scheme first.
