Hm, what, if someone needs both (no, I don't atm:-))? I see the choice is
made in usbcore at compile time with #ifdef CONFIG_..._UB... If I
understand it correct, that's because usbcore builds a table of

USB class <-> driver

pairs. Wouldn't it be better to leave this decision to the hotplug system
altogether? So that when the USB core notices a new device, it requests
not a specific module to be loaded, but a class-support, and then the
hotplug-daemon would decide based on its configuration, which module to
load / attach to this device?

I might well be saying nonsense here...

Thanks
