<content type='text'>
Add 'tunnel_mode' enum to usb device structure to describe if a USB3
link is tunneled over USB4, or connected directly using native USB2/USB3
protocols.

Tunneled devices depend on USB4 NHI host to maintain the tunnel.
Knowledge about tunneled devices is important to ensure correct
suspend and resume order between USB4 hosts and tunneled devices.
i.e. make sure tunnel is up before the USB device using it resumes.

USB hosts such as xHCI may have vendor specific ways to detect tunneled
connections. This 'tunnel_mode' parameter can be set by USB3 host driver
during hcd-&gt;driver-&gt;update_device(hcd, udev) callback.

tunnel_mode can be set to:
USB_LINK_UNKNOWN = 0
USB_LINK_NATIVE
USB_LINK_TUNNELED

USB_LINK_UNKNOWN is used in case host is not capable of detecting
tunneled links.

Currently there is no standardized method for USB drivers to handle
shutdown events. This patch simplifies running code on shutdown for USB
devices by adding a shutdown callback to usb_driver.

struct usb_devmap is really just a bitmap. No need to have a dedicated
structure for that.

Simplify code and use DECLARE_BITMAP() directly instead.

There is usbdrv_wrap in struct usb_driver and usb_device_driver, it
contains device_driver and for_devices. for_devices is used to
distinguish between device drivers and interface drivers.

Like the is_usb_device(), it tests the type of the device. We can test
that if the probe of device_driver is equal to usb_probe_device in
is_usb_device_driver(), and then the struct usbdrv_wrap is no longer
needed.

Clean up struct usbdrv_wrap, use device_driver directly in struct
usb_driver and usb_device_driver. This makes the code cleaner.

<title>usb: core: Allow subclassed USB drivers to override usb_choose_configuration()</title>

<content type='text'>
For some USB devices we might want to do something different for
usb_choose_configuration(). One example here is the r8152 driver where
we want to end up using the vendor driver with the preferred
interface.

The r8152 driver tried to make things work by implementing a USB
generic_subclass driver and then overriding the normal config
selection after it happened. This is less than ideal and also caused
breakage if someone deauthorized and re-authorized the USB device
because the USB core ended up going back to it's default logic for
choosing the best config. I made an attempt to fix this [1] but it was
a bit ugly.

Let's do this better and allow USB generic_subclass drivers to
override usb_choose_configuration().

Wireless USB has long been defunct, and kernel support for it was
removed in 2020 by commit caa6772db4c1 ("Staging: remove wusbcore and
UWB from the kernel tree.").

Nevertheless, some vestiges of the old implementation still clutter up
the USB subsystem and one or two other places.  Let's get rid of them
once and for all.

The only parts still left are the user-facing APIs in
include/uapi/linux/usb/ch9.h.  (There are also a couple of misleading
instances, such as the Sierra Wireless USB modem, which is a USB modem
made by Sierra Wireless.)

Many of the older USB drivers in the Linux USB stack were written
based simply on a vendor's device specification.  They use the
endpoint information in the spec and assume these endpoints will
always be present, with the properties listed, in any device matching
the given vendor and product IDs.

While that may have been true back then, with spoofing and fuzzing it
is not true any more.  More and more we are finding that those old
drivers need to perform at least a minimum of checking before they try
to use any endpoint other than ep0.

To make this checking as simple as possible, we now add a couple of
utility routines to the USB core.  usb_check_bulk_endpoints() and
usb_check_int_endpoints() take an interface pointer together with a
list of endpoint addresses (numbers and directions).  They check that
the interface's current alternate setting includes endpoints with
those addresses and that each of these endpoints has the right type:
bulk or interrupt, respectively.

Although we already have usb_find_common_endpoints() and related
routines meant for a similar purpose, they are not well suited for
this kind of checking.  Those routines find endpoints of various
kinds, but only one (either the first or the last) of each kind, and
they don't verify that the endpoints' addresses agree with what the
caller expects.

In theory the new routines could be more general: They could take a
particular altsetting as their argument instead of always using the
interface's current altsetting.  In practice I think this won't matter
too much; multiple altsettings tend to be used for transferring media
(audio or visual) over isochronous endpoints, not bulk or interrupt.
Drivers for such devices will generally require more sophisticated
checking than these simplistic routines provide.
