Btw, can we please write this somewhat more readably, and just do

	if (dev->driver != arg->drv)
		return 0;
	intf = to_usb_interface(dev);
	return intf->minor == arg->minor;

because the whole "intf->minor != -1" thing is pointless (we're going to 
test it against 'arg->minor', and if that is -1, then the caller damn well 
gets what he deserves anyway).

This way there are no complex multi-line crud expressions, and it all 
looks simpler. No?
