Pull USB 3.5-rc1 changes from Greg Kroah-Hartman:
 "Here is the big USB 3.5-rc1 pull request for the 3.5-rc1 merge window.

  It's touches a lot of different parts of the kernel, all USB drivers,
  due to some API cleanups (getting rid of the ancient err() macro) and
  some changes that are needed for USB 3.0 power management updates.

  There are also lots of new drivers, pimarily gadget, but others as
  well.  We deleted a staging driver, which was nice, and finally
  dropped the obsolete usbfs code, which will make Al happy to never
  have to touch that again.

  There were some build errors in the tree that linux-next found a few
  days ago, but those were fixed by the most recent changes (all were
  due to us not building with CONFIG_PM disabled.)

<title>USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices.</title>

Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices.  Comms
devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power
state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished.
Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state,
using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their
data transfer.

If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable
hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus
as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of
receiving data.  Worse, some devices might blindly accept the
hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the
middle of receiving a transmission.

The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB
communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host.  In order to keep
the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the
same in Linux.

Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications
drivers.  I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that
implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

All other values from device provided buffer are byteswapped, so it seems
more logical to do same for these.

The RNDIS protocol contains a vast number of Object ID:s (OIDs).
The current definitions had multiple definitions of these ID:s,
let's use the nicely RNDIS_*-prefixed defines from the HyperV
implementation, rename everywhere they're used, and copy+rename
the few that were missing from this list of objects.

The header file &lt;linux/usb/rndis_host.h&gt; used a number of #defines
that included the cpu_to_le32() macro to assure the result will be
in LE endianness. Inlining this into the code instead of using it
in the code definitions yields consolidation opportunities later
on as you will see in the following patches. The individual
drivers also used local defines - all are switched over to the
pattern of doing the conversion at the call sites instead.

<title>USB: convert drivers/net/* to use module_usb_driver()</title>

This converts the drivers in drivers/net/* to use the
module_usb_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
simpler.

Added bonus is that it removes some unneeded kernel log messages about
drivers loading and/or unloading.

My changes in commit 4d42d417be75d750b82798922b6e775915e11bce were
written some time before the introduction of FLAG_POINTTOPOINT, so
didn't include that flag in the new driver_info.  Change the new
driver_info to be consistent.

Some RNDIS devices don't respond on the control channel until polled
on the status channel.  In particular, this was reported to be the
case for the 2Wire HomePortal 1000SW and for some Windows Mobile
devices.

This is roughly based on a patch by John Carr &lt;john.carr@unrouted.co.uk&gt;
which is currently applied by Mandriva.

<title>usbnet: use eth%d name for known ethernet devices</title>

The documentation for the USB ethernet devices suggests that
only some devices are supposed to use usb0 as the network interface
name instead of eth0. The logic used there, and documented in
Kconfig for CDC is that eth0 will be used when the mac address
is a globally assigned one, but usb0 is used for the locally
managed range that is typically used on point-to-point links.

Unfortunately, this has caused a lot of pain on the smsc95xx
device that is used on the popular pandaboard without an
EEPROM to store the MAC address, which causes the driver to
call random_ether_address().

Obviously, there should be a proper MAC addressed assigned to
the device, and discussions are ongoing about how to solve
this, but this patch at least makes sure that the default
interface naming gets a little saner and matches what the
user can expect based on the documentation, including for
new devices.

The approach taken here is to flag whether a device might be a
point-to-point link with the new FLAG_POINTTOPOINT setting in
the usbnet driver_info. A driver can set both FLAG_POINTTOPOINT
and FLAG_ETHER if it is not sure (e.g. cdc_ether), or just one
of the two.  The usbnet framework only looks at the MAC address
for device naming if both flags are set, otherwise it trusts the
flag.
