Not that my opinion counts here, but I don't like the coding style of
doing work in the variable definition block.
Pointer assignments in there are OK (like the zd_usb_to_usbdev, which just
fetches a pointer), but a kmalloc() call is IMO very confusing.

But the decision whether this is OK or not is not up to me.
