Ok, this is getting to be a joke.

Take a few days off, relax, then try to send a patch that works to
yourself first, and run it through scripts/checkpatch.pl to verify that
it really is correct.  Hint, this one isn't at all.

Then, maybe you should start doing some work on drivers/staging/ first,
which is where new developers should start out to work out all of these
issues so you don't bother the other developers who are working on
adding new features and fixing bugs.

Also, why are you including a ton of people who have nothing to do with
usb patches on this one?

good luck,
