Hi all,
The latest patch from Dmitri for the ibmcam reminded me that we have two
different ways the usb drivers call MOD_INC_USE_COUNT. One group of
drivers (ibmcam, keyboard, mice, printer, acm, and other input devices)
only increment the module use when the device is opened (if at all, like
the mouse driver).
The other drivers increment it when the device is recognized
(usb-serial, dabusb, uss720, and others).
Which way should it be? On successful probe() or on open()?
I would like to see them all work the same, be it one way or the other
and I really don't have a preference.
thanks,
