Also, why add a lock to usb_dump_desc in devices.c? None of the
routines in that file try to communicate with the device.
That was a part of the original patch. I haven't gone into detail about
what these functions are doing.
In 2.4 usb_dump_device_strings() called usb_string() which called
usb_get_string(). This doesn't happen in 2.6 anymore, so you're right, locking
there is not needed anymore.
