Hello, I am trying to model a hotplug usb host controller that will cause a usb bus to appear/disappear from the system on the fly (accessible to the CPU as a hotplug device on the local bus). the current approach I am prototyping is to add a generic netlink interface to the driver that essentially 'probes' another hcd into existence once some other part of the system (from user-space) realize that a new device that contains the hcd has been added. I've read the Documentation/usb/hotplug.txt but that document seems to deal with hotplugging usb device on an existing bus, not a host-controller that actually makes the bus appear/disappear. Am I on the right track with using generic netlink, or is there a more 'formal' method included?
