Subject: [PULL 05/13] usb: Document the missing -usbdevice options
Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2021 19:02:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210315180240.1597240-6-kraxel@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210315180240.1597240-1-kraxel@redhat.com>

From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

There are some more -usbdevice options that have never been mentioned
in the documentation. Now that we removed -usbdevice from the list
of deprecated features again, we should document them properly.

While we're at it, also sort them alphabetically.
