It will _not_ break hotplug. But it'll break all non-compliant devices unless they are in the list list of quirky devices.However, we know that list is incomplete. But we don't know how incomplete. As a compromise, we might change the default to enable it only for devices with drivers in the kernel. That would be a kind of whitelist.
Yeah, I'm a bit leary of adding this to our kernel just yet, it's still not quite stable on all devices because other operating systems do not do this and hence, a lot of devices are broken with it :(
Yes, on the other hand, something needs to be done about the case of not using USB. I'd activate it only for the hub driver.
That (or something to that effect) would be nice, so that I don't have to unload the USB modules all the time to save some more power.
Ok, now that it seems the SANE package will handle keeping all scanners from autosuspending, I don't have an objection to enabling this option in the kernel. I'll update the quirk table with the latest from upstream also. Oliver, any objection from you about this? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
