    [PATCH] usbcore doc + minor fixes · 321d6a82

    Cleaning out my queue of most minor patches:
    
      - Provides some kerneldoc for 'struct usb_interface' now that
        the API is highlighting it.
    
      - Fixes usb_set_interface() so it doesn't affect other interfaces.
    
        This provides the right place for an eventual HCD call to clean
        out now-invalid records of endpoint state, and also gets rid of
        a potential SMP issue where drivers on different interfaces
        calling concurrently could clobber each other.  (Per-interface
        data doesn't need locking except against config changes.)
    
      - It's OK to pass URB_NO_INTERRUPT hints if you're queueing a
        bunch of interrupt transfers.
    
    The set_interface call should eventually take the interface as a
    parameter, it's one of the few left using the "device plus magic
    number" identifier.  I have a partial patch for that, but it doesn't
    handle the (newish) ALSA usb audio driver or a few other callers.
