Made a little test which shows that this code is going to be executed only
once.How did i miss that :) Now the other question comes next:
Why don not we use just:
#define USB_ATTACH_SETUP \
sc->sc_dev = self; \
device_set_desc_copy(self, devinfo); \
device_printf(self, "%s\n", devinfo);

?
Thank you,
