There is no such thing.  USB storage devices either use the scsi core
and get their major/minor numbers that way, or they use the ub driver,
which has its own major number assigned to it.

Remember, these are block devices, not character devices.  The USB major
number is just for character devices.

Oh, and there is no more USB scanner driver in the kernel, so that's not
a good example to follow :)

good luck,
