I saw that it was marked as Obsoleted in patchwork, but I might have confused
this patch with similar, but not identical, patches for this driver.

I've moved the state back to New.

Even though this increments the refcount (which might well be unnecessary),
it is also decremented with usb_put_intf. So is there actually a bug here?

And if this is changed, then I expect that both get_intf and put_intf should be
removed, and not just the get.
