r8152: Choose our USB config with choose_configuration() rather than probe()
If you deauthorize the r8152 device (by writing 0 to the "authorized" field in sysfs) and then reauthorize it (by writing a 1) then it no longer works. This is because when you do the above we lose the special configuration that we set in rtl8152_cfgselector_probe(). Deauthorizing causes the config to be set to -1 and then reauthorizing runs the default logic for choosing the best config. I made an attempt to fix it so that the config is kept across deauthorizing / reauthorizing [1] but it was a bit ugly. Let's instead use the new USB core feature to override choose_configuration(). This patch relies upon the patches ("usb: core: Don't force USB generic_subclass drivers to define probe()") and ("usb: core: Allow subclassed USB drivers to override usb_choose_configuration()") [1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231130154337.1.Ie00e07f07f87149c9ce0b27ae4e26991d307e14b@changeid Fixes: ec51fbd1 ("r8152: add USB device driver for config selection") Suggested-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@chromium.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231201102946.v2.3.Ie00e07f07f87149c9ce0b27ae4e26991d307e14b@changeidSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
