This patch hasn't any effect on sane-find-scanner.

That's normal. sane-find-scanner checks the USB bus for devices. If it
finds one, it tries to detect, if it is a scanner. That's not easy,
because there is no scanner class. So the detection is like that: if
it's not a hub and not a mouse and not ... it's maybe a scanner.
That's why there is a warning.

But it's your scanner in this case.
