[patch 06/27] USB: dont rebind drivers after failed resume or reset

[Greg KH]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us 
know.

------------------
From: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6c6409459a18a825ce12ecb003d5686af61f7a2f upstream

This patch (as1152) may help prevent some problems associated with the
new policy of unbinding drivers that don't support suspend/resume or
pre_reset/post_reset.  If for any reason the resume or reset fails, and
the device is logically disconnected, there's no point in trying to
rebind the driver.  So the patch checks for success before carrying
out the unbind/rebind.

There was a report from one user that this fixed a problem he was
experiencing, but the details never became fully clear.  In any case,
adding these tests can't hurt.
