And how can maxchild ever be equal to 0?

Look at where it is assigned (it comes from bNbrPorts in the
descriptor), in hub_configure() and if it is set to 0, the creation of
the structure fails and then this code will never run, right?

So I don't think this is needed, and your checker needs to be fixed.

sorry,
