We need to make sure that the USB serial driver we find
matches the USB driver whose probe we are currently
executing. Otherwise we will end up with USB serial
devices bound to the correct serial driver but wrong
USB driver.
An example of such cross-probing, where the usbserial_generic
USB driver has found the sierra serial driver:

So we end up with a mismatch between the USB driver and the
USB serial driver. The reason for the above is simple: The
USB driver probe will succeed if *any* registered serial
driver matches, and will use that serial driver for all
serial driver functions.
This makes ref counting go wrong. We count the USB driver
as used, but not the USB serial driver. This may result
in Oops'es as demonstrated by Johan Hovold <jhovold@gmail.com>:

Fix by only evaluating serial drivers pointing back to the
USB driver we are currently probing. This still allows two
or more drivers to match the same device, running their
serial driver probes to sort out which one to use.
