[PATCH] usbutils: lsusb-t: print entries for devices with no interfaces

[Alan Stern]

Not all USB devices have interfaces.  This is true in particular of
the STMicroelectronics STEVAL-USBC2DP Type-C to DisplayPort adapter,
as well as possibly other USB-C devices.

As a result these devices do not show up in the output from "lsusb -t",
because the logic in print_tree_dev_interface() lists interfaces, not
devices (as implied by the function's name).  This means that the
output from "lsusb -t" can be inconsistent with the output from
"lsusb", since some devices are omitted.

To fix the problem, we make the subroutine call print_usbdevice() at
least once even if the device has no interfaces, and make the latter
routine print a minimal description of such devices (anything that does
not require access to the interface descriptor).

Now applied, thanks!  I'll do a new release in a few days to get this
out to the world.
