Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v2] usbnet: allow status interrupt URB to always be
 active

Some drivers (ex sierra_net) need the status interrupt URB
active even when the device is closed, because they receive
custom indications from firmware.  Allow sub-drivers to set
a flag that submits the status interrupt URB on probe and
keeps the URB alive over device open/close.  The URB is still
killed/re-submitted for suspend/resume, as before.
