This is a real problem.  It looks like it really is necessary to call
hub_port_status() here, not get_port_status().  Would you like to fix
this?

The reason for changing the return codes from clear_port_feature() and 
set_port_feature() is simple.  The values they return are meant for 
internal use within the kernel, whereas the return code from 
store_port_power_control() will be passed back to userspace.
