Support for the Evolution Scorpion Robot

Hi,
  I'm currently running a patched version of 2.6.20 in order to use
the Evolution Scorpion robot. For this robot to work I need to patch
the kernel with a fairly simple patch that I'm attaching in case you
want to apply it.

Cheers,
Søren

Care to redo the patch as per the Documentation/SubmittingPatches file
and send a copy to me and the linux-usb-devel mailing list so that we
can add this to the main kernel tree?

thanks,
