Please provide a full changelog entry, and signed-off-by: if you wish to
have it applied to the tree.

As you are adding new sysfs entries, I need some documentation to be
added in Documentation/ABI/ describing these new files and how they are
to be used.  See the instructions there for the format needed.

This seems odd, you know we already allow any usb vendor and product id
to be automatically added to a driver after it has been loaded through
sysfs, right?  Wouldn't that take care of the majority of the issues you
have here?

Oh, wait, this is setting the device itself, nevermind.

You should use configfs for this instead, that's what it is for moreso
than sysfs, right?
