Subject: [PATCH v2] Docs: usb: update struct usb_driver, __init and __exit
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2021 22:14:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211020201446.GA8482@matrix-ESPRIMO-P710> (raw)
update struct usb_driver from usb-skeleton.c.
update __init and __exit functions that are moved from
usb-skeleton.c to common used multi-stage macros.
Signed-off-by: Philipp Hortmann <philipp.g.hortmann@gmail.com>

V1 -> V2: changed :c:func:`usb_register` to usb_register()
changed the :c:func:`usb_deregister` to usb_deregister()
used literal blocks for makro module_usb_driver and added one more
stage of multi-stage macros.
