Use them and you should be fine, right? bus_for_each_dev() is always a possibility. It doesn't tell you the tree ordering, and it will include all device structures registered to the usb_bus_type (including usb_interfaces as well as usb_devices, and also including devices below non-xHCI controllers). If Sarah is okay with these limitations, it's easier than explicitly going through the tree by hand.
