This patch (as1206) is the first step in converting usb-storage's subdrivers into separate modules. It makes the following large-scale changes: Remove a bunch of unnecessary #ifdef's from usb_usual.h. Not truly necessary, but it does clean things up. Move the USB device-ID table (which is duplicated between libusual and usb-storage) into its own source file, usual-tables.c, and arrange for this to be linked with either libusual or usb-storage according to whether USB_LIBUSUAL is configured. Add to usual-tables.c a new usb_usual_ignore_device() function to detect whether a particular device needs to be managed by a subdriver and not by the standard handlers in usb-storage. Export a whole bunch of functions in usb-storage, renaming some of them because their names don't already begin with "usb_stor_". These functions will be needed by the new subdriver modules. Split usb-storage's probe routine into two functions. The subdrivers will call the probe1 routine, then fill in their transport and protocol settings, and then call the probe2 routine. Take the default cases and error checking out of get_transport() and get_protocol(), which run during probe1, and instead put a check for invalid transport or protocol values into the probe2 function. Add a new probe routine to be used for standard devices, i.e., those that don't need a subdriver. This new routine checks whether the device should be ignored (because it should be handled by ub or by a subdriver), and if not, calls the probe1 and probe2 functions.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
