The real bug here is the extra ; after the while(0) part... because
if you use it as such:
if (case)
USB_ATTACH_SETUP;
else
somethingelse;
you will get a compile error due to the double semicolon...
In cases like this, it is also common to have parens after the macro
name so that it looks like a function, and not a simple expresion.
