    staging: usbip: convert usbip-host driver to usb_device_driver · b7945b77

    This driver was previously an interface driver. Since USB/IP
    exports a whole device, not just an interface, it would make
    sense to be a device driver.
    
    This patch also modifies the way userspace sees and uses a
    shared device:
    
    * the usbip_status file is no longer created for interface 0, but for
    the whole device (such as
    /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.2/usb1/1-1/usbip_status).
    * per interface information, such as interface class or protocol, is
    no longer sent/received; only device specific information is
    transmitted.
    * since the driver was moved one level below in the USB architecture,
    there is no need to bind/unbind each interface, just the device as a
    whole.
