No, that not I wanted you to do. Please remove those options and just do
below on tracing directory.

echo 0 > tracing_on
cat trace > /dev/null
echo "function_graph" > current_tracer
echo "rt2*" > set_ftrace_filter
echo 1 > tracing_on
echo 1-2.2 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind
echo 0 > tracing_on
cat trace > ~/trace.txt

and provide trace.txt to me (can be in private email if big).

Thanks
