This patch (as1619) improves the interface to the "hub_for_each_child" macro. The name clearly suggests that the macro iterates over child devices; it does not suggest that the loop will also iterate over unnconnected ports. The patch changes the macro so that it will skip over unconnected ports and iterate only the actual child devices. The two existing call sites are updated to avoid testing for a NULL child pointer, which is now unnecessary.
