Wireless-testing is a complete tree, thus it has every file that is found in the 
mainline tree. There are a number of files named usb.c. To know what it does, 
you would need to tell what path it is in. In general, a file named usb.c would 
contain the interface between a device and the USB system.

The differences between wireless-testing and mainline are related to the 
development. New material comes through wireless-testing and goes through 
several trees before if is merged into mainline. Usually wireless-testing is 
about 1 version newer than mainline.
