Now that you've pointed this out, I agree this appears to be the more
natural way to handle things.  I will take a point of making a rewrite
here.  Additionally, I'll do my best to bring all the other USB CAN
drivers in line with this.  My only concern in doing that is that I have
gs_usb devices to confirm the fix with but not devices for the other
drivers.

I don't think anything is wrong with the above approach.  I just happened
to see an issue in the gs_usb driver that was already fixed in the other
USB CAN drivers, and adapted the fix used in the other drivers to the
gs_usb one.  Doing so got your attention and you pointed out a more
general fix, so I agree with going this route.  I'll post a new patch this
week.

Best,
Rhett
