Can you name a few?

This member serves the purpose of a list _entry_, no?
The _head_ is static LIST_HEAD(usb_repeater_list);
Maybe call it "entry"?

Would you document these ops somehow? Potential driver writers need to
understand when they are called and what they are supposed to do.
In particular, how do these relate to what's in "Embedded USB2 (eUSB2)
Physical Layer Supplement to the USB Revision 2.0 Specification"?

Andrzej
