This is not the right way to fix the problem.

Instead, we should make sure that udev->descriptor.bNumConfigurations is 
always <= USB_MAXCONFIG.  That's what this code in 
usb_get_configuration() is supposed to do:

	int ncfg = dev->descriptor.bNumConfigurations;
	...

	if (ncfg > USB_MAXCONFIG) {
		dev_warn(ddev, "too many configurations: %d, "
		    "using maximum allowed: %d\n", ncfg, USB_MAXCONFIG);
		dev->descriptor.bNumConfigurations = ncfg = USB_MAXCONFIG;
	}

If you want to fix the bug, you need to figure out why this isn't 
working.
