Hi,
I certainly can redo it that way, but I'd like to ask you to reconsider.
usb_match_id() specifically mentions using a wildcard device id table just
to avoid this problem.
The probe() methods of the device drivers could simply ignore the id
argument and do what they are doing now without the backwards
compatibility hack.
Regards
Oliver
