Yes. > Would the USB core go and search for the next driver after the BOT > driver rejected the bind? Yes. > It looks like usb_probe_interface will just return an error if the > first driver's probe function fails. The driver core continues on and will probe the remaining drivers for that bus. Also, when a new driver shows up, the driver core asks if any of the unbound devices should be bound to this new driver.
