This is in continuation to [1]. struct device_driver's mod_name is not set by a number of bus' driver registration functions. Without that, built-in drivers don't have the module symlink in sysfs. We want this to go from unbound driver name -> module name -> kernel config name. This is useful on embedded platforms to minimize kernel config, reduce kernel size, and reduce boot time. This patchset adds mod_name to usb-related drivers.
