"usb_unbind_and_rebind_marked_interfaces" is called if config
parameter is not null,
it seems no matter post_reset routine fail or not.

Why that routine, usb_reset_device, will call usbhid_disconnect?
No matter port reset success or fail, usbhid_disconnect should not be
called except that did happen disconnection.

below is the content of hid_destroy and hid_remove_device, but I
cannot find where usbhid_close be called by way of hid_destroy_device.
static void hid_remove_device(struct hid_device *hdev)
{
if (hdev->status & HID_STAT_ADDED) {
device_del(&hdev->dev);
hid_debug_unregister(hdev);
hdev->status &= ~HID_STAT_ADDED;
}
kfree(hdev->dev_rdesc);
hdev->dev_rdesc = NULL;
hdev->dev_rsize = 0;
}
void hid_destroy_device(struct hid_device *hdev)
{
hid_remove_device(hdev);
put_device(&hdev->dev);
}
