The problem is there's a use-modules cycle somewhere.

Should be

   (inputs `(("libusb" ,libusb)
             ("tcl" ,tcl:tcl)))

The problem is there's a use-modules cycle somewhere.
Try putting usb-modeswitch in another module (a new one if necessary).

Also, does it really require tcl?  Sounds kinda weird to me.
