Subject: [PATCH] usb: linux/usb.h: Correct the description of the usb_device_driver member

From: Yi Cong <yicong@...inos.cn>

In the current kernel USB device driver code, only the name field is
required to be provided; all other fields are optional.
Use the command grep -rnw "struct usb_device_driver" to inspect
how specific drivers are declared.

Correct this part of the description.
