Oliver: I don't like the new requirement that drivers must balance their calls to usb_autopm_get_interface() and usb_autopm_put_interface(). It's awkward; it forces drivers to keep track of the number of unbalanced get's. Just consider what you would need to change in order to implement it in the serial drivers and you'll see what I mean. It seems a lot easier to have usbcore keep track for everybody. Then the drivers won't need to be updated. What do you think?
