RE: [RFC PATCH 3/3] usbnet: support runtime PM triggered by link change

Isn't that a bit too trivial to get the _GPL version?
Particularly if the usb infrastructure (that I presume this
is part of) might be reasonably usable by non-gpl drivers.

A few years back the function to release a reference on
the kernel 'pid' structure was added as GPL - making
it impossible for non-GPL to hold the reference.
