Nope, there is not "priority" scheme of binding some drivers to devices instead of others at all in Linux. The whole scheme is "first in the list", and has always been that way. And yes, people have talked about changing this for decades now, but no one has come up with any working patch, for the obvious reasons[1]. thanks, greg k-h [1] exercise is left for the reader :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
