Here's what I am thinking for usb autoload. Let's say speakup_usb_serial
is the driver which will be automatically loaded based upon usb vendor
and product id, when user plugs in native usb synth, such as triple
talk. speakup module will be pre-requisite for speakup_usb_serial so it
will already be in memory when following flow starts from inside
speakup_usb_serial. It assumes the native usb synth requires ltlk.
Functions of the form speakup.* are those exposed by speakup module.
First speakup_usb_serial will check if ltlk is already loaded
ltlk not loaded:
1. speakup.next_load_as_delayed("ltlk"): tell speakup that very next
time when ltlk is loaded, don't initialise it, i.e. don't call
do_synth_init().
2. load ltlk
3. speakup.delayed_init("ltlk", "ttyUSBX"): tell speakup to first
set dev_name of ltlk synth to ttyUSBX and then call do_synth_init
ltlk is already loaded:
1. speakup.is_initialised("ltlk")?
YES:

being used
NO:

This should cover the scenario when ltlk is built into kernel.
Thanks,
