If I can do the following without being in group operator:
pciconf -l
devinfo

Then why shouldn't I also be able to do:
usbdevs -v

I looked at other drivers in src/sys/dev/usb, and the ones that
have a make_dev() call invoke make_dev() with 0644.  So at
least this would be consistent with the other USB drivers.

I don't see what the problem would be for giving 
read-only access to /dev/usb[n] for non-operators, but I'll
let someone else chime in.
