I have solved the problem, it was located in a rejected diff. (it was
the reason I made the new patch earlier)

Let me explain it on an example, lets assume you add
usb_add usbhub to 001:001
then you should be able (in fact it is absolutly untested)
usb_add host:2:3 to 001:001:001

it should even work something like:
usb_add  usbhub to 001:001:002
usb_add  host:2:2 to 001:001:002:001

you see, you build up a path. Maximum depth at the moment ist 8.

I aggree with that, and normaly it should work. The complete name
"host:AAAxBBB" is delivered to usb_host_init(), I will look at it.
