Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: usb: remove dead link to external USB programming guide
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 23:05:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260713150544.20962-1-utsaveshan0206@gmail.com> (raw)
The "Programming Guide for Linux USB Device Drivers" was last hosted
at lmu.web.psi.ch and is no longer reachable. The original source
(TUM, cs.tum.edu) is also defunct. Remove the dead reference rather
than link to a third-party archive of a 20+ year old, outdated guide.
