[PATCH 5.8 237/255] USB: Fix device driver race

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 01 2020 - 11:54:49 EST


From: Bastien Nocera <hadess@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit d5643d2249b279077427b2c2b2ffae9b70c95b0b upstream.

When a new device with a specialised device driver is plugged in, the
new driver will be modprobe()'d but the driver core will attach the
"generic" driver to the device.

After that, nothing will trigger a reprobe when the modprobe()'d device
driver has finished initialising, as the device has the "generic"
driver attached to it.

Trigger a reprobe ourselves when new specialised drivers get registered.

Fixes: 88b7381a939d ("USB: Select better matching USB drivers when available")
