The people enabling panic-on-warn *ask* for a reboot if something strange happens, right? If ssusb->dr_mode is USB_DR_MODE_UNKNOWN in .remove() but wasn't in .probe(), that's strange, right? If I don't enable panic-on-warn, my system just emits a warning and then the driver copes with what it has, right? Sounds to me as if WARN_ON does exactly what is the right thing here.
