From stern@rowland.harvard.edu Thu Aug 11 12:55:51 2005 Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 15:50:32 -0400 (EDT) From: Alan Stern To: Greg KH cc: Patrick Mochel Subject: USB: Support unbinding of the usb_generic driver Message-ID: This patch (as556) adds support for unbinding the usb_generic "driver". That driver only binds to USB devices, as opposed to interfaces, and it does nothing much besides marking which struct device's go with an overall USB device plus providing suspend/resume methods. Now that users can unbind drivers at will using the sysfs "unbind" attribute, we need a rational way of dealing with USB devices that are no longer under full control of the USB stack. The patch handles this by unconfiguring the device, thereby removing all the interfaces and their associated drivers and children.
