         * device. Assuming all of the above succeeded, we can now continue.

         * At this stage we have a populated libusb_device structure (either one
         * that was found earlier, or one that we have just allocated and

         * using discovered_devs_append(). Note that discovered_devs_append()
         * may reallocate the list, returning a new location for it, and also
