NAME

usb_driver_claim_interface - bind a driver to an interface  

SYNOPSIS

void usb_driver_claim_interface (struct usb_driver * driver, struct usb_interface * iface, void* priv);  

ARGUMENTS

driver
the driver to be bound
iface
the interface to which it will be bound
priv
driver data associated with that interface
 

DESCRIPTION

This is used by usb device drivers that need to claim more than one interface on a device when probing (audio and acm are current examples). No device driver should directly modify internal usb_interface or usb_device structure members.

Few drivers should need to use this routine, since the most natural way to bind to an interface is to return the private data from the driver's probe method. Any driver that does use this must first be sure that no other driver has claimed the interface, by checking with usb_interface_claimed.
