The initFunction is called when probing a new device, its call relation is like: USB core: probe() -> usb_stor_probe2() -> usb_stor_acquire_resources() -> init_alauda() That is, the error return of the initFunction should tell USB core what happened instead of using error code like USB_STOR_TRANSPORT_ERROR.
