Subject: [15/18] USB: fix mos7840 problem with minor numbers

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Tony Cook <tony-cook@...pond.com>

commit 37768adf9a1d49aeac0db1ba3dc28b3274b7b789 upstream

This patch fixes a problem with any mos7840 device where the use of the
field "minor" before it is initialised results in all the devices being
overlaid in memory (minor = 0 for all instances)
