NAME

usb_register - register a USB driver  

SYNOPSIS

int usb_register (struct usb_driver * new_driver);  

ARGUMENTS

new_driver
USB operations for the driver
 

DESCRIPTION

Registers a USB driver with the USB core. The list of unattached interfaces will be rescanned whenever a new driver is added, allowing the new driver to attach to any recognized devices. Returns a negative error code on failure and 0 on success.  

NOTE

if you want your driver to use the USB major number, you must call usb_register_dev to enable that functionality. This function no longer takes care of that.
