Subject: [PATCH 1/2] USB: core: drop outdated interface-binding comment
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 16:54:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210318155406.22399-1-johan@kernel.org> (raw)
It's been almost twenty years since USB drivers returned a data pointer
from their probe routines in order to bind to an interface.
Time to update the documentation for usb_driver_claim_interface().

* No device driver should directly modify internal usb_interface or

- * Few drivers should need to use this routine, since the most natural

* Callers must own the device lock, so driver probe() entries don't need
