Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] usb: core: Don't force USB generic_subclass drivers to define probe()

There's no real reason that subclassed USB drivers _need_ to define
probe() since they might want to subclass for some other reason. Make
it optional to define probe() if we're a generic_subclass.

Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@...omium.org>

Changes in v2:
- ("Don't force USB generic_subclass drivers to define ...") new for v2.
