The real terminology problem is the mismatch between driver-model usage and USB usage.

Considering which came first, the problem is "driver model" terminology.


Notice that it doesn't handle either PCI or USB properly, and for
the same reason:  multi-function devices.   But a "pci_dev" is a
function, not a device, so the problem is hidden there ... unlike
for USB.

... but that's neither here nor there.

A USB device doesn't fit well in the driver model.

A USB interface is a driver-model device.

A driver-model interface has nothing to do with USB interfaces.

I approve of Oliver's suggestion.
