Also, could you raise a new bugzilla report at http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org for your contribution? It's much easier to track patches and the discussion about them in Bugzilla. To be clear, the new USB API presented at: http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001024 is not yet formalised, but any future changes required to use the new API should be independent of work to remove the dependency on endpoint devtab entries within your MSD function driver package.
