+What: USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
|
|
|
+When: Febuary 2008
|
|
|
+Files: include/linux/usb.h, drivers/usb/core/driver.c
|
|
|
+Why: The USB subsystem has changed a lot over time, and it has been
|
|
|
+ possible to create userspace USB drivers using usbfs/libusb/gadgetfs
|
|
|
+ that operate as fast as the USB bus allows. Because of this, the USB
|
|
|
+ subsystem will not be allowing closed source kernel drivers to
|
|
|
+ register with it, after this grace period is over. If anyone needs
|
|
|
+ any help in converting their closed source drivers over to use the
|
|
|
+ userspace filesystems, please contact the
|
|
|
+ linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list, and the developers
|
|
|
+ there will be glad to help you out.
