Use usb_get_intf() and usb_put_intf() in order to update the reference count of the usb interface structure.This is quite pointless as the driver will be unbound from the interface before interface is deleted.
From the documentation of usb_get_intf(): [quote] Each live reference to a interface must be refcounted. Drivers for USB interfaces should normally record such references in their probe() methods, when they bind to an interface, and release them by calling usb_put_intf(), in their disconnect() methods.
