Where is this 2.01 value specified? I don't remember seeing it in the
usual USBIF documents.

This change doesn't seem to be related to the purpose of this patch.

This #define seems to be pointless. It is used nowhere but in the
immediately following line. You might as well eliminate it.

Or you might define this UUID at the same place in the header file
where you define struct usb_webusb_cap_descriptor.

A similar comment applies to this #define. In this case it might make
sense to put all the WebUSB-related #defines in an appropriate header
file.

Bad indentation. Visually this makes it look like the last two tests
are part of the conditional block, because they share its indentation
level.

*buf and schema_http should be indented by the same amount.

Do you really need these temporary variables? Why not put the tests
directly into the "if" conditions?

Also, should the comparisons be case-insensitive?

Again, improper indentation.

Improper indentation.
