usb_register_driver: register a USB interface driver
NAME
usb_register_driver - register a USB interface driver
SYNOPSIS
-
int usb_register_driver(struct usb_driver
* new_driver, struct module* owner, const char* mod_name);
ARGUMENTS
new_driver
-
- USB operations for the interface driver
owner
- module owner of this driver.
mod_name

DESCRIPTION
Registers a USB interface driver with the USB core. The list of unattached interfaces will be rescanned whenever a new driver is added, allowing the new driver to attach to any recognized interfaces.
RETURN
A negative error code on failure and 0 on success.
NOTE
if you want your driver to use the USB major number, you must call usb_register_dev to enable that functionality. This function no longer takes care of that.
