After the loop `for (i = 0; i < config->desc.bNumInterfaces; i++)' if no break occurred, i equals config->desc.bNumInterfaces. so if usb_control_msg() failed then after goto reset_old_alts we read from config->interface[config->desc.bNumInterfaces].

If usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth() fails, in the loop _before_ the reset_old_alts label, don't we still have to reinstate the old alternate settings for that usb_interface config->interface[i]? This was what my initial patch tried to do. Alternatively usb_hcd_alloc_bandwidth() could undo what it does if an error occurs there, then I think i could be decremented. IOW isn't this the proper fix?
