Ideally this would be an imperative sentence telling us what the patch
*does*, not just that it's a copy of something else.

I'd also like a brief comment about why this is useful, i.e., why you
need this and what you're going to use it for.

The usual commit citation format is 7d9c1d2f7aca ("USB: add support
for dev_groups to struct usb_device_driver") so it's easier to locate
the commit.

I see there is also b71b283e3d6d ("USB: add support for dev_groups to
struct usb_driver").  I don't know enough about USB to know whether
7d9c1d2f7aca or b71b283e3d6d is a closer analogue to what you're doing
here, but I do see that struct usb_driver is far more common than
struct usb_device_driver.

PCI has struct pci_driver, but doesn't have the concept of a struct
pci_device_driver.
