I don't know about doing anything wrong...  However it does appear that
in this case the interface is registered on the HID bus but doesn't get
bound to a driver.  Jiri will know whether or not that's the desired
outcome.

On the other hand, I don't think there would be anything wrong with 
moving the

	usbhid->intf = intf;
	usbhid->ifnum = interface->desc.bInterfaceNumber;

lines from usbhid_start() to usbhid_probe(), just before the call to
hid_add_device().  It should fix the bug, and those lines do belong in
the probe routine.  Jiri, any problems with doing this?
