Thanks for your review, this remove rescan logic impliment in V5 patch driver version, as it can't be allowned 
in driver so I move it out driver patch, just now it seemed no other suitable way to reprobe device and identify 
device in download mode after device reset.
By the way,this remove rescan logic works with iosm driver also, so if there is no idea of other way, I hope it
can be allowned without effect the kernel.
