The vhci driver does not need to create a platform device,
it only did so because it was simple to do that in order to
get a place in sysfs to hang some device-specific attributes.
Now the faux device interface is more appropriate,change it
over to use the faux bus instead.

Changes in v2:
- don't change faux create api,just call probe on vhci_hcd_init.

I get the following build errors from this patch:

drivers/usb/usbip/vhci_hcd.c:1462:12: error: ‘vhci_hcd_resume’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function]
1462 | static int vhci_hcd_resume(struct faux_device *fdev)

1418 | static int vhci_hcd_suspend(struct faux_device *fdev, pm_message_t state)

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Are you sure you tested this?
I apologize for not enabling -Werror, which resulted in missing this error warning.
I have tested usbip feature use the new patch,but not test system suspend/resume.
The faux bus type don't add pm function,and vhci-hcd driver can't register it.
Maybe have to add suspend/resume for it.like below:
static const struct bus_type faux_bus_type = {
    .name        = "faux",
    .match        = faux_match,
    .probe        = faux_probe,
    .remove        = faux_remove,
    .resume     = faux_resume,
    .suspend    = faux_suspend,
};

Is that right?
Your expertise would be greatly valued.
Thanks very much.

thanks,
