The code changes look almost OK, but could you try the following?

- Split the patch: one for rewriting with the structs in
  linux/usb/midi.h, another for adding the MIDI device name support

- Try to avoid magic numbers: a few places should be replaced with
  sizeof() or ARRAY_SIZE().


thanks,

Takashi
