I saw the:

+       if (dev->driver) {^M
+               if (dev->parent)        /* Needed for USB */^M
+                       down(&dev->parent->sem);^M

portion and thought it came from USB core code somewhere.  Or are you
referring to the need for USB-storage here?

Ok, fair enough, just was a bit confused.
