10   Registers a USB interface driver with the USB core.  The list of
11   unattached interfaces will be rescanned whenever a new driver is
12   added, allowing the new driver to attach to any recognized interfaces.
13</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="idp1116376492"></a><h2>Return</h2><p>
14   A negative error code on failure and 0 on success.
15</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="idp1116377132"></a><h2>NOTE</h2><p>
16   if you want your driver to use the USB major number, you must call
17   <code class="function">usb_register_dev</code> to enable that functionality.  This function no longer
18   takes care of that.
