Why can't USB=m?

And why isn't this all in drivers/usb/host/ ?  Why a separate directory?

If you really need your own directory, why not drivers/usb/host/mausb/ ?

Ick, really?  Why?  You should not need this.

Why do you need these two .h files for this file at this time?

You have no module parameters here, why do you need this?

No custom driver "printk" macros please.  We have been stomping them out
for years.  Just use dev_*() instead.

And a driver version means nothing when it is in the kernel itself,
please just remove.

Also, why info?  This is just fun debugging stuff, don't do that, that
is what ftrace is for.

If you are trying to provide stubs to later fill in, that's fine, but
don't clutter it up with this type of stuff please.

Why does a USB host driver need a char dev node?

Why do you need your own class that has a different name from your
device node?  None of that should be needed at all here, right?

You set this and never touch it again :(
Oh wait, you pass it into a cleanup function later, which isn't really
needed anyway.

one device node?  If you REALLY need it, just use a misc device, but we
need a ton of documentation here as to what you are doing with this, and
why it is needed, because as-is, I have no idea just looking at this
patch :(

So this isn't a global variable??

That really isn't needed, please don't.

Again, drop all of this, and use the build-in kernel functions, there's
nothing special about this one tiny driver to override uniformity.

Ick, why???

That's funny.  And pointless :)

No need for that parameter.
