Dear Experts, When I attach two UAS devices to linux box, I got the following system trace when I use my driver. I used the following snippet for registering my device to the transport layer. static DECLARE_TRANSPORT_CLASS(uas_host_class, "uas_host", NULL, NULL, NULL); error = transport_class_register(&uas_host_class); The transport_class_register() API fails and shows the following trace when I connect the second device Here, I can declare the transport class with different names by changing the second parameter in the DECLARE_TRANSPORT_CLASS. However, is there any other way to handle this? Is there any way to declare unique name for each device? Any ideas greatly helpful. Thanks and Regards, Ramya.
