r8152: Choose our USB config with choose_configuration() rather than probe()
[ Upstream commit aa4f2b3e418e8673e55145de8b8016a7a9920306 ]
If you deauthorize the r8152 device (by writing 0 to the "authorized"
field in sysfs) and then reauthorize it (by writing a 1) then it no
longer works. This is because when you do the above we lose the
special configuration that we set in rtl8152_cfgselector_probe().
Deauthorizing causes the config to be set to -1 and then reauthorizing
runs the default logic for choosing the best config.
I made an attempt to fix it so that the config is kept across
deauthorizing / reauthorizing [1] but it was a bit ugly.
Let's instead use the new USB core feature to override
choose_configuration().
This patch relies upon the patches ("usb: core: Don't force USB
generic_subclass drivers to define probe()") and ("usb: core: Allow
subclassed USB drivers to override usb_choose_configuration()")
