I bisected twice. Both times I found this one to be the culprit.
Nevertheless, just reverting this (Thanks Denys!) didn't fixed the USB 
problem.
I'll retry another bisecting round with -rc4 now, but I have the dumb 
feeling the problem is not the USB part, but more in the usbhid driver.
Let's see.
