I don't see how this explanation could be correct.  disable_store() is a 
sysfs attribute file for the port device, so when it is called the port 
device structure must still be registered.  The interface structure 
doesn't get removed until after usb_disable_device() calls device_del(), 
which won't return until hub_disconnect() returns, which won't happen 
until after the port devices are unregistered, which doesn't happen 
until disable_store() calls sysfs_break_active_protection(), which is 
after the call to usb_hub_to_struct_hub().

Can you do a little extra debugging to find out exactly which C 
statement causes the trap?  The disassembly above indicates the trap 
happens during a compare against 0 inside disable_store() -- not inside 
usb_hub_to_struct_hub().  Can you figure out which comparison that is?
