Subject: linux-next: build failure after merge of the usb tree

Hi all,

After merging the usb tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig)
failed like this:

In file included from usr/include/linux/usbdevice_fs.hdrtest.c:1:
./usr/include/linux/usbdevice_fs.h:88:2: error: unknown type name 'u8'
  u8 num_ports;  /* Number of ports the device is connected */
  ^~
./usr/include/linux/usbdevice_fs.h:92:2: error: unknown type name 'u8'
  u8 ports[7];  /* List of ports on the way from the root  */
  ^~

Caused by commit

  6d101f24f1dd ("USB: add usbfs ioctl to retrieve the connection parameters")

Presumably exposed by commit

  b91976b7c0e3 ("kbuild: compile-test UAPI headers to ensure they are self-contained")

from the kbuild tree.

I have added this patch for now:
