202What: USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
203When: Febuary 2008
204Files: include/linux/usb.h, drivers/usb/core/driver.c
205Why: The USB subsystem has changed a lot over time, and it has been
206 possible to create userspace USB drivers using usbfs/libusb/gadgetfs
207 that operate as fast as the USB bus allows. Because of this, the USB
208 subsystem will not be allowing closed source kernel drivers to
209 register with it, after this grace period is over. If anyone needs
210 any help in converting their closed source drivers over to use the
211 userspace filesystems, please contact the
212 linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list, and the developers
213 there will be glad to help you out.
