X-Git-Tag: v2.6.13-rc1~68^2~583^2^2~25

[PATCH] usbcore: Don't call device_release_driver recursively

This patch fixes usb_driver_release_interface() to make it avoid calling
device_release_driver() recursively, i.e., when invoked from within the
disconnect routine for the same device.  The patch applies to your
"driver" tree.
