Thanks Matt and Phill for confirming the line that triggers the oops. As I 
am not able to reproduce it myself, it's a bit tricky to track down what 
went wrong.

Could you please apply the patch below? It's printing the hid <-> hiddev 
<-> usb_interface connections at various stages of probing and open. 
Hopefully it'll reveal a little bit what goes wrong and where.

Thanks.
