+ * module_usb_serial_driver() - Helper macro for registering a USB Serial driver
+ * @__usb_driver: usb_driver struct to register
+ * @__serial_drivers: list of usb_serial drivers to register
+ *
+ * Helper macro for USB serial drivers which do not do anything special
+ * in module init/exit. This eliminates a lot of boilerplate. Each
+ * module may only use this macro once, and calling it replaces
+ * module_init() and module_exit()
+ *
+ * Note, we can't use the generic module_driver() call here, due to the
+ * two parameters in the usb_serial_* functions, so we roll our own here
+ * :(
