read() needs to check whether the device has been
disconnected before it tries to talk to the device.

What prevents ->present from not being changed right after this test?

Hi,

the mutex taken in

rv = usblp_rwait_and_lock(usblp, !!(file->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK));

right above it. Yes, this driver is a mess. But short of adding
a ton of comments or rewriting the whole thing I have no idea
what to do about that.

	Regards
		Oliver
