Yes.

Why?

Really?  What does this help out with?  Are there future changes that
require this?

I'm all for cleanups, but I don't see what this helps with.

Also, you have a coding style issue in this patch, which means I
couldn't take it anyway:

> +extern int usb_probe_device(struct device *dev);

We don't do that in .c files :(
