If I understand correct, you would like use current USB class driver to handle
its related device. Yes, it can work only the device can be discovered without
any pre-setup, like reset, clock setting, etc. The related class driver's probe
is only called when this kinds of classes (hid, mass storage, ethernet, etc)
is discovered by USB bus.
Besides this, we need pre-setup code to let the USB device can be discovered
if needed. There is no place to put this pre-setup code at related
class driver,
->probe will be called after discovered, at its init, we have no
struct device *,
even we can create an API for this purpose, and call it at its parent's driver,
this class driver may be not loaded at all.
If not use platform driver, we had to use the way MMC power code does that
is have this pre-setup code as library, and build together with USB core.
