Without this 'else' statement, an "usb" name goes into two handlers:
the first/previous 'if' statement _AND_ the for-loop over 'devtable',
but the latter is useless as it has no 'usb' device_id entry anyway.

Tested with allmodconfig before/after patch; no changes to *.mod.c:

    git checkout v6.6-rc3
    make -j$(nproc) allmodconfig
    make -j$(nproc) olddefconfig

    make -j$(nproc)
    find . -name '*.mod.c' | cpio -pd /tmp/before

    # apply patch

    make -j$(nproc)
    find . -name '*.mod.c' | cpio -pd /tmp/after

    diff -r /tmp/before/ /tmp/after/
    # no difference

Fixes: acbef7b76629 ("modpost: fix module autoloading for OF devices with generic compatible property")
