I'm never quite sure about when it makes sense to complain about 
stylistic issues.  Nevertheless, I'm going to do so here...

C isn't Lisp.  Expressions in C are not based entirely around 
parentheses, and it's not necessary to align our code based on the 
parenthesized sub-expressions to avoid hopelessly confusing the reader.

The style used in this file (and many other places in the USB core) is 
to indent continuation lines by two tab stops.  The same comment applies 
to all the other continuation lines you added or changed in this patch 
and in patch 2/4.
