It links the firmware node of physical USB device to USB interface.
Otherwise it will be no firmware nodes under a corresponding folder.

It mimics what is done for OF in couple of lines above.

Yes, it is a new feature. I can't tell it fixes anything, because no complains
so far. I doubt it previously works.

No, no need for that. Usually I put Fixes tag when I would like change to be
considered for backporting.

I'll probably update the commit message to clarify all this. Would it be enough?
