Subject: [PATCH] usb: linux/usb.h: Correct the description of the usb_device_driver member
Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 16:53:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251201085309.103379-1-cong.yi@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Yi Cong <yicong@kylinos.cn>
In the current kernel USB device driver code, only the name field is
required to be provided; all other fields are optional.
Use the command grep -rnw "struct usb_device_driver" to inspect
how specific drivers are declared.
Correct this part of the description.
