I pretty much grabbed any USB driver that looked like a communications driver without looking too closely at the code. > What is the interest of setting the disable_hub_initiated_lpm > flag for these? It's partially to lay the foundation for anyone who wants to make a USB 3.0 communications driver in the future. They're likely to start from some USB 2.0 class driver, and copy a lot of code. If they notice that flag is set in all the USB communications class drivers, they're likely to set it as well. I'm not quite sure where the best place to provide documentation on the flag is. I've added the kernel doc comments to the structure, but maybe it needs to be documented somewhere in Documentation/usb/?
