Remove unused 'devctl' variable to fix compile warnings:

    drivers/usb/musb/musbhsdma.c: In function 'dma_controller_irq':
    drivers/usb/musb/musbhsdma.c:324:8: warning: variable 'devctl' set
    but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Are you sure that the hardware does not require this read to complete
the command?  Lots of hardware is that way, so be very careful about
this.  Did you test it?

I have tested this patch on Mediatek's platform, and not sure if it
will affect other vendors' platforms.

Dear Bin:

Does this patch will affect other vendors' platforms?

The hardware specs will answer this question, what do they say about
this read?

Sorry, I didn't seen the comment on the hardware specs indicate that
devctl register needs to read once to take effect.

Perhaps you might want to add a comment here so that people will not
keep making this same mistake when they run auto-checkers on the
codebase?

Sorry for confused you, I searched the hardware specs, but did not find
the special description of the register devctl indicating that it needs
to be read out before the hardware can work.

If this is a PCI device, that is implied as that is how all PCI devices
work, right?

What is the problem that is fixed by removing this read?

A better change would be

-			devctl = musb_readb(mbase, MUSB_DEVCTL);
+			(void) musb_readb(mbase, MUSB_DEVCTL);

and eliminate the unused variable.  Then there wouldn't be any compiler 
warning.

No need for the (void), the compiler shouldn't warn about that, right?

True, but it clearly indicates to a human reader that the value was 
intended to be read and thrown away.  Alternatively, the (void) cast 
could be left out and a comment added.
