This patch (as1230) consolidates code in usb_unbind_interface() and usb_driver_release_interface(). In fact, it makes release_interface call unbind_interface, thereby removing the need for duplicated code. It works like this: If the interface has already been registered with the driver core when a driver releases it, then the usual driver-core mechanism will call unbind_interface. If it hasn't been unregistered then we will make the call ourselves. As a nice bonus, drivers now don't have to worry about whether their disconnect method will get called when they release an interface -- it always will. Previously it would be called only if the interface was registered.
