Hi!

I already wrote for a bugfix in the past (kernel 2.6.20), and I just found the 
bug back in the 2.6.22.5 !
I should have used a beter insecticide :)
(Or maybe I'm doing a mistake, but I don't think so)

The bug is about linked list use in drivers/usb/core/driver.c (see attached 
patch linked_list_insersion_bugfix.patch)

Have fun.
