The cause of your problem is quite simple:

static int usbdev_notify(struct notifier_block *self,
unsigned long action, void *dev)
{
switch (action) {
case USB_DEVICE_ADD:
+ post_usb_device_notification(dev, NOTIFY_USB_DEVICE_ADD, 0);
break;
case USB_DEVICE_REMOVE:
+ post_usb_device_notification(dev, NOTIFY_USB_DEVICE_REMOVE, 0);
+ usbdev_remove(dev);
+ break;
+ case USB_BUS_ADD:
+ post_usb_bus_notification(dev, NOTIFY_USB_BUS_ADD, 0);
+ break;
+ case USB_BUS_REMOVE:
+ post_usb_bus_notification(dev, NOTIFY_USB_BUS_REMOVE, 0);
usbdev_remove(dev);
break;
}

The original code had usbdev_remove(dev) under the USB_DEVICE_REMOVE
case. The patch mistakenly moves it, putting it under the
USB_BUS_REMOVE case.

If the usbdev_remove() call were left where it was originally, the
problem would be solved.
