A subdirectory for a single file?  That seems like overkill, don't you
think?  As this is a USB "host" driver, why not put it in that
directory?

Also, last time these patches were posted, people asked why you can't
use libusb/usbfs instead, what happened with that?  Or usbip?

Remove this, default should be 'n'.

Always run your patches through checkpatch.pl so people don't tell you
about the things that checkpatch.pl would have told you about...
