Wow, that's an impressive amount of work in a short time!  I have only
a few comments.

I'm not very concerned about the subdrivers.  In fact, for testing
purposes it would probably be better to start by changing just the
"core" part of usb-storage (that is, the parts that actually get built
into the usb-storage.o file) and then do each subdriver separately, one
patch for each.

There are a few places where things could be improved...

Isn't there a symbolic constant you can use instead of "7"?

These three functions get called only in unusual circumstances, and for
debugging we do want to know when they get called.  So these statements
should remain.

Even though "us" isn't available here, intf is.  This line can be a
regular dev_dbg(&intf->dev, ...).  Or even dev_info(&intf->dev, ...);  
this looks like the sort of thing one sees all the time in kernel logs.

And here "us" hasn't been set yet (it gets set in usb_stor_probe1), so
it shouldn't be used.  This can become another dev_dbg(&intf->dev, ...)
line.
