IMHO that is not how this should be dealt with, if what we're currently
doing for musb is wrong (I do not know if it is), then fixing this does
not belong in a patch which is only moving code around. Such a fix
clearly belongs in a separate follow-up patch, and then you can use
everything you've just typed:

As a commit msg for such a separate patch. As a general rule of thumb never
make 2 separate / independent changes in a single commit just because they
happen to touch overlapping lines of code.

I've a board with musb, and I plan to test your patch as soon as a new version
which re-adds the -1 for musb is posted. If you decided to do a second patch to
remove the -1, I can then test that afterwards, with as an added bonus that if
things break I can also tell you if it is the new shared helper which breaks
things, or the removing of the -1 :)

Hans
