The kernel supports the device authorization because of wireless USB.
These is usable for wired USB devices, too.
These new interface authorization allows to enable or disable
individual interfaces instead a whole device.

If a deauthorized interface will be authorized so the driver probing must
be triggered manually by writing INTERFACE to /sys/bus/usb/drivers_probe

Why usb_deauthorize_interface() takes both dev->parent and dev locks and
usb_authorize_interface() takes only dev lock?


Because usb_forced_unbind_intf() needs the devices lock...

In the auth case, we change only a flag.


Yeah true. Forgot that usb_device is parent for all its interfaces.

Thank you for clarification,
