What is preventing it from being valid? Doing a little test with some
printfs in usbd.conf and my USB ZIP drive, DEVNAME is defined on
detach, too, not just attach. Do you mean that what is _in_ DEVNAME
may not actually be the correct name of the device being detached in
certain cases? If it is correct all the time, my patch should work.

That would be better, of course, but I think DEVNAME should be
available on detach, which it appears to be already, assuming it is
just as correct as it is during attach.
