Which parts of code do this handling? Is there any kind of state machine usual for protocols? If the protocol is stateless then isn't it just a data format then? Which part of this handling must be done in kernel and why? Does the said handling do anything other than forwarding the traffic between USB and a character device? What is the character device used for? I know: read, write and poll. But why?
