the opensuse FACTORY tree now has a more modern version of usbutils in

Android needs it? That's crazy, given that they don't have any usb host
controllers in their devices. Very wierd...
Android is also an embedded device, so you should be able to select the
option already on their builds, right?

Anyway, this change is going to be reverted, it is already queued up to
go to Linus early next week. Just need to test some other pending
patches as well.
