Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] usb: core: Amend initial authorized_default value

From: Niko Mauno <niko.mauno@...sala.com>

Since the wireless USB implementation has been removed and since the
behavior with authorized_default values -1 and 1 is now effectively
same, change the initial value to latter in order to stop using the
leftover value. The former value can still be passed as a module
parameter to retain backwards compatibility.
