modpost: Something amiss with do_hid_entry() - id->bus endianesswrong?

i am having problems with endianness on the id->bus value in do_hid_entry().

i think there is a "TO_NATIVE(id->bus);" missing in scripts/mod/file2alias.c:

# modinfo --version
module-init-tools version 3.4
# modinfo hid_dell
filename:
/lib/modules/2.6.28-1-amd64/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-dell.ko
license: GPL
alias: hid:b0300v000013BAp00000017
alias: hid:b0300v0000413Cp00002105
alias: hid:b0300v0000413Cp00002005
depends: hid,usbhid
vermagic: 2.6.28-1-amd64 SMP mod_unload modversions

notice it says "b0300", but the proper hid bus id is 0x0003 (from udev):
[ 2374.572122] dell 0003:413C:2005.0006: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [DELL DELL USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:00:1d.3-2/input0

this is preventing udev from autoloading any of the usbhid modules
unless you hack modules.alias

or do i have an outdated modinfo/modutils?
