Hi Xose,

Yes please don't do that. The rtl8xxxu driver relies on the .driver_info
field in struct use_device_id to carry information for the different
types of devices. If you hot add a device like above, the driver will
fail because that field now contains a NULL pointer.

I should probably add a check for it in the probe function, but it will
simply be there to spit out a warning that it doesn't work to hot add a
device like this.

If you build it with CONFIG_RTL8XXXU_UNTESTED the 0bda:8176 should be
included in the device list.

Cheers,
Jes
