+ * usb_driver_set_configuration - Provide a way for drivers to change device configurations

+ * Context: In process context, must be able to sleep
+ *
+ * Device interface drivers are not allowed to change device configurations.
+ * This is because changing configurations will destroy the interface the
+ * driver is bound to and create new ones; it would be like a floppy-disk
+ * driver telling the computer to replace the floppy-disk drive with a
+ * tape drive!
+ *
+ * Still, in certain specialized circumstances the need may arise. This
+ * routine gets around the normal restrictions by using a work thread to
+ * submit the change-config request.
+ *
+ * Returns 0 if the request was succesfully queued, error code otherwise.
+ * The caller has no way to know whether the queued request will eventually
+ * succeed.
