    usbcore: make usb_generic a usb_device_driver · 782da727
    Alan Stern 提交于
    This patch (as714b) makes usb_generic into a usb_device_driver capable
    of being probed and unbound, just like other drivers.  A fair amount of
    the work that used to get done during discovery or removal of a USB
    device have been moved to the probe and disconnect methods of
    usb_generic: creating the sysfs attributes and selecting an initial
    configuration.  However the normal behavior should continue to be the
    same as before.
    
    We will now have the possibility of creating other USB device drivers,
    They will assist with exporting devices to remote systems
    (USB-over-TCPIP) or to paravirtual guest operating systems.
