Indeed, an extra tab character snuck in there by mistake.  It has been 
present ever since 2006, when the routine was originally added by commit 
8bb54ab573ec ("usbcore: add usb_device_driver definition").

It's perfectly okay with me if someone wants to remove the extra tab.  
In fact, nowadays we'd remove the line break entirely.
