202 | What: USB driver API moves to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL | ||
203 | When: Febuary 2008 | ||
204 | Files: include/linux/usb.h, drivers/usb/core/driver.c | ||
205 | Why: 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. | ||
