This patch is bad.

The US_PR_FREECOM and freecom_init are for the USB 1.1. Freecom adaptors,
which use a proprietary protocol.  Freecom was kind enough to provide
documentation on that protocol for us to write the driver.

The USB 2.0 devices, however, use the class-standard protocol.

So this patch will just break things more.
