Yep, this patch works too:

	debug1: skdebug: found 1 device(s)
	debug1: skdebug: trying device 0: /dev/hidraw0
	debug1: skdebug: fido_dev_get_assert: FIDO_ERR_USER_PRESENCE_REQUIRED
	debug1: skdebug: found key
	debug1: Authentication succeeded (publickey).
	Authenticated to localhost ([::1]:22).

and without the key plugged in:

	debug1: skdebug: found 0 device(s)
	debug1: skdebug: couldn't find device for key handle
	debug1: sshsk_sign: sk_sign failed with code -1
	debug1: identity_sign: sshkey_sign: unexpected internal error
	sign_and_send_pubkey: signing failed: unexpected internal error

Unfortunately I only have the one key to test with.

Yeah, this crossed my mind after I sent the diff. Your patch looks good :)
