This fixes a potential race condition where the ci13xxx_imx glue code
could be fast enough to call one of the usbmisc_ops before he got a
valid value on the static usbmisc pointer. To fix that we first set
usbmisc, then call usbmisc_set_ops().
usbmisc is subsys_initcall, and cil13xxx_imx is module_init. Any
potential situation that the ci13xxx_imx's probe is ran before the
usbmisc's probe is completed? Besides, there is usbmisc_ops value
check at the beginning of cil13xxx_imx's probe.
