I found out a couple more things about this. If I do "rmmod dwc3" first, and then do "rmmod dwc3-pci", it doesn't crash. On a related note, if I just do "modprobe dwc3-pci", then dwc3.ko doesn't get loaded. I have to do "modprobe dwc3" too, to get everything loaded. Shouldn't dwc3.ko be a dependency of dwc3-pci.ko, and get loaded automatically? Could this missing dependency also explain the crash on "rmmod dwc3-pci"? -- Paul -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
