It already _has_ an .of_node field, in its embedded struct device.

I don't know what you mean.  struct usb_device _does_ contain an 
embedded struct device.  It doesn't matter the structures are created 
dynamically, statically, or any other way; this field is part of the 
structure definition.

Suppose udev is a pointer to struct usb_device.  Then udev->dev is a
struct device and udev->dev.of_node is a pointer to struct device_node.  
You don't need to add a new udev->of_node field; just use
udev->dev.of_node instead.
