USB core: don't match interface descriptors for vendor-specific devices
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch (as804) makes USB driver matching ignore the interface
class, subclass, and protocol if the device class is Vendor Specific.
Drivers can override this policy by specifying a Vendor ID as part
of the match; then vendor-specific matches are allowed.

Linus Walleij has reported a problem this patch fixes.  When a
particular mass-storage device is switched from mass-storage mode to
Media Transfer Protocol, the interface class remains set to mass-storage
and usb-storage binds to it erroneously, even though the device class
changes to Vendor-Specific.

This may cause a problem for some drivers until their match records can
be updated to include Vendor IDs.  But if it does, then those records
were broken to begin with.
