[PATCH] usbcore, kernel 2.6.18.1

[Gerd Luyten <gluyten@skynet.be>]

This patch is to eventually detect a Velleman K8055 USB device.
Without the patch it will fail detection with following errors:
usb 1-2: can't read configurations, error -110
=> probably because of usb non-conformance reason of the K8055 card.
(timing issues...)

With this patch, detection will keep on trying until usb card gets
recognized.
This patch adds a device reset in the "fail:" sequence instead of just
marking the device state as NOTATTACHED.
