I suspect it is because I copy/pasted that code from its original
location in usb_host_scan() to the new usb_host_scan_dev(), and
subsequently did some shuffling about.

Could it also be because that hunk has moved both location and
containing function? I was trying to figure out in my head how diff
would efficiently handle that but gave up :)

It looks as if I need to recreate the new source version again manually,
making sure the editor doesn't mess with tabs.
