From 7e97243c2080ecae7129e83635227fdebd4feef6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:22:37 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] USB: rename the usb misc class from "usb" to "usbmisc" This class was not named properly years ago, and it turns out that tools like udev can't properly see the devices in this class after booting due to the fact that there is a bus with the same name in the system. Changing this to "usbmisc" fixes this problem, and it solves the problem for the future when we want to unify classes and busses.
