Subject: [RFC] usb: add 'usb_get_intf()' call into the probe methods of
 drivers for usb interfaces.

Hi, all
I checked many usb drivers in the mainline kernel which do not record
this reference in their probe methods. But according to the documents
about this function, we shoud record this reference in our probe
methods, just as the call to 'usb_get_dev()' to reference a usb
device. Are these usb drivers right or we need to fix them?
