The order of probing depends on several things, such as the order in which the host controller drivers are loaded. As long as those things don't change, the order of probing devices will remain the same. > In case I want to support plug/unplug, is there standard way to do it or > it is considerered as worthless/too complex ? A USB driver _has_ to support plug/unplug; you have no choice. Yes, there is a standard way to do it. Look at any of the USB drivers already in the kernel. > I was considering to use device serial number. Many USB devices don't have a serial number.
