This has a couple of nasty errors.

to_usb_device() won't work properly if the struct device isn't embedded 
in an actual usb_device structure.  And that will happen, since the USB 
bus type holds usb_interface structures as well as usb_devices.

In fact, you should use usb_for_each_dev here; it already does what you 
want.

Don't you need some sort of locking or refcounting here?  What would 
happen if this hub got removed while the routine was running?
