If the netdev is accessed before the urbs are initialized,
there will be NULL pointer dereferences. That is avoided by
registering it when it is fully initialized.

This case occurs e.g. if dhcpcd is running in the background
and the device is probed, either after insmod hso or
when the device appears on the usb bus.

A backtrace is the following:
