A instance of struct dvb_usb_device is created for each dvb-usb-device 
when calling

int dvb_usb_device_init(struct usb_interface *intf, struct 
dvb_usb_properties *props, struct module *owner);

from the driver's probe-function.

I changed this call to

int dvb_usb_device_init(struct usb_interface *intf, struct
dvb_usb_properties *props, struct module *owner, struct dvb_usb_device 
**du);

to get the struct dvb_usb_device instance back directly in order to do 
something with rather than calling usb_get_intfdata first.

Sorry for my shortness in the first place.

Patrick.
