[PATCH] add usb_reset_configuration()
Unfortunately, usb_set_configuration() is widely mis-used as a lightweight device reset. That's trouble because setting a configuration must sometimes involve things that don't relate at all to a light reset, and can't be done in contexts like driver probe() calls. This patch updates most usb_set_configuration() users to use a call that provides more appropriate functionality: - Adds a new usb_reset_configuration() call, which never needs to change very much usbcore state. - Uses it to replace most usb_set_configuration() calls, in many serial drivers, hisax, dvb, irda, and so on. - Modifies usb_reset_device() so it issues the control request directly. It's both more of a reset (hides a USB reset) and less of one (altsettings are unchanged). - Makes usbfs return the error code instead of discarding it. Once this goes in, then usb_set_configuration() can be made to work properly (including from sysfs).
