    USB: serial: rework usb_serial_register/deregister_drivers() · 68e24113
    Greg Kroah-Hartman authored
    
    
    This reworks the usb_serial_register_drivers() and
    usb_serial_deregister_drivers() to not need a pointer to a struct
    usb_driver anymore.  The usb_driver structure is now created dynamically
    and registered and unregistered as needed.
    
    This saves lines of code in each usb-serial driver.  All in-kernel users
    of these functions were also fixed up at this time.  The pl2303 driver
    was tested that everything worked properly.
    
    Thanks for the idea to do this from Alan Stern.
