Quite apart from the stylistic questions about sanity tests and so on,
this code contains a bug. It wasn't introduced by your patch; it was
there from before and I should have caught it earlier, along with a few
others.

The real problem is that the code in devio.c doesn't make a clear visual
distinction between interface number (i.e., desc.bInterfaceNumber) and
interface index (i.e., dev->actconfig->interface[index]). The two values
do not have to agree.

The claimintf(), releaseintf(), and checkintf() routines take an index as
argument, and the ifclaimed bitvector uses the same index. findintfif()
takes a number and returns the corresponding index, duplicating much of
the functionality of usb_ifnum_to_if(). Likewise, findintfep() returns an
index.

The code here in driver_disconnect() uses a number where it needs to use
an index.

Similarly, there's a typo in proc_releaseinterface(); the second argument
it passes to releaseintf() should be ret, not intf.

And in proc_submiturb(), the value stored in as->intf is an index when it
should be an interface number. Or possibly it could remain an index, but
then the value passed to destroy_async_on_interface() by
proc_releaseinterface() should be the index and not the number.
