Okay, sure, it's not important enough to argue about. Will resubmit it this way.

Yes, maybe. But let's please not blow this patch up any more than it already is.

On second thought, we already have the variable head (respectively
head->bLength) to point there... I can just use that instead.

Done.

I'm already adding a comment to usb_parse_config() to point that
out... I'll clarify that this includes sanitization in addition to
byte swapping.
