[PATCH] USB: core: remove polling for /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices

From: Sergey Korolev
Date: Sun Aug 09 2020 - 12:13:07 EST


The latest reference to usbfs_conn_disc_event() removed in
commit fb28d58b72aa ("USB: remove CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS")
in 2012 and now a user poll() waits infinitely for content changes.
