No worries, it happens to all of us :)

No, I can't redo the patch that I've already committed.

As "dev_state" is a very generic term, how about we just rename it to
something more USB specific, like usb_dev_state?  That way it would fix
the build issue, and keep it from being a problem in the future in other
drivers.
