When a whole class of devices (possibly from a specific vendor, or
across multiple vendors) require a quirk, explictly listing all devices
in the class make the quirks table unnecessarily large. Fix this by
allowing matching devices based on interface information.

<title>usb-core: Set intfdata to NULL if a driver's probe method failed</title>

Ensure that intfdata always is NULL if no driver is bound:
1) drvdata is for a driver to store a pointer to driver specific data
2) If no driver is bound, there is no driver specific data associated with
   the device
3) Thus logically drvdata should be NULL if no driver is bound.

We already set intfdata to NULL when a driver is unbound, to ensure that
intfdata will be NULL even if the drivers disconnect method does not properly
clear it. This ensures that intfdata will also be NULL after a failed probe,
even if the driver's probe method left a (likely dangling) pointer in there.

Some composite USB devices provide multiple interfaces
with different functions, all using "vendor-specific"
for class/subclass/protocol.  Another OS use interface
numbers to match the driver and interface. It seems
these devices are designed with that in mind - using
static interface numbers for the different functions.

This adds support for matching against the
bInterfaceNumber, allowing such devices to be supported
without having to resort to testing against interface
number whitelists and/or blacklists in the probe.

<title>USB: Disable USB 3.0 LPM in critical sections.</title>

<id>8306095fd2c1100e8244c09bf560f97aca5a311d</id>
<content type='text'>
There are several places where the USB core needs to disable USB 3.0
Link PM:
 - usb_bind_interface
 - usb_unbind_interface
 - usb_driver_claim_interface
 - usb_port_suspend/usb_port_resume
 - usb_reset_and_verify_device
 - usb_set_interface
 - usb_reset_configuration
 - usb_set_configuration

Use the new LPM disable/enable functions to temporarily disable LPM
around these critical sections.

We need to protect the critical section around binding and unbinding USB
interface drivers.  USB drivers may want to disable hub-initiated USB
3.0 LPM, which will change the value of the U1/U2 timeouts that the xHCI
driver will install.  We need to disable LPM completely until the driver
is bound to the interface, and the driver has a chance to enable
whatever alternate interface setting it needs in its probe routine.
Then re-enable USB3 LPM, and recalculate the U1/U2 timeout values.

We also need to disable LPM in usb_driver_claim_interface,
because drivers like usbfs can bind to an interface through that
function.  Note, there is no way currently for userspace drivers to
disable hub-initiated USB 3.0 LPM.  Revisit this later.

When a driver is unbound, the U1/U2 timeouts may change because we are
unbinding the last driver that needed hub-initiated USB 3.0 LPM to be
disabled.

USB LPM must be disabled when a USB device is going to be suspended.
The USB 3.0 spec does not define a state transition from U1 or U2 into
U3, so we need to bring the device into U0 by disabling LPM before we
can place it into U3.  Therefore, call usb_unlocked_disable_lpm() in
usb_port_suspend(), and call usb_unlocked_enable_lpm() in
usb_port_resume().  If the port suspend fails, make sure to re-enable
LPM by calling usb_unlocked_enable_lpm(), since usb_port_resume() will
not be called on a failed port suspend.

USB 3.0 devices lose their USB 3.0 LPM settings (including whether USB
device-initiated LPM is enabled) across device suspend.  Therefore,
disable LPM before the device will be reset in
usb_reset_and_verify_device(), and re-enable LPM after the reset is
complete and the configuration/alt settings are re-installed.

The calculated U1/U2 timeout values are heavily dependent on what USB
device endpoints are currently enabled.  When any of the enabled
endpoints on the device might change, due to a new configuration, or new
alternate interface setting, we need to first disable USB 3.0 LPM, add
or delete endpoints from the xHCI schedule, install the new interfaces
and alt settings, and then re-enable LPM.  Do this in usb_set_interface,
usb_reset_configuration, and usb_set_configuration.

Basically, there is a call to disable and then enable LPM in all
functions that lock the bandwidth_mutex.  One exception is
usb_disable_device, because the device is disconnecting or otherwise
going away, and we should not care about whether USB 3.0 LPM is enabled.

<title>USB: don't ignore suspend errors for root hubs</title>

This patch (as1532) fixes a mistake in the USB suspend code.  When the
system is going to sleep, we should ignore errors in powering down USB
devices, because they don't really matter.  The devices will go to low
power anyway when the entire USB bus gets suspended (except for
SuperSpeed devices; maybe they will need special treatment later).

However we should not ignore errors in suspending root hubs,
especially if the error indicates that the suspend raced with a wakeup
request.  Doing so might leave the bus powered on while the system was
supposed to be asleep, or it might cause the suspend of the root hub's
parent controller device to fail, or it might cause a wakeup request
to be ignored.

The patch fixes the problem by ignoring errors only when the device in
question is not a root hub.

This patch (as1514) cleans up some places where new_id and remove_id
sysfs attributes are created and deleted.  Handling both attributes in
a single routine rather than a pair of routines makes the code
smaller.  It also prevents certain kinds of errors, like one we
currently have in the USB subsystem: The removeid attribute is often
created even when newid isn't (because the driver's no_dynamid_id flag
is set).

In the case of the PCMCIA subsystem, the newid attribute is created
but never explicitly deleted.  The patch adds a deletion routine.
