Folks,
Consider a USB key that auto mounts as a generic USB storage device
using the block level driver for that. Can I write a driver that, for
example, is more specific to that key and gets loaded and used at auto
mount time instead of the generic driver? How would I go about
identifying my driver so it superseded the generic one?
You'd have to add an unusual device entry to the USB storage driver
which tells it not to claim that device. Look at
drivers/usb/storage/unusual_devs.h and the US_FL_IGNORE_DEVICE flag.
Thanks in Advance,
