Here's a stack trace for a logical disconnect:

The disconnect for the interface is called from device_release_driver,
which has cleaned out dev->driver_list before the call.  So when, from
the disconnect, usb_device_release_driver is now called for the same
interface, the test triggers and usb_device_release_driver bails out.
At least that's how it's supposed to work.  Anyway, from my tests it
does indeed work: device_release_driver is only called once.

Ciao,
