A single USB function can be implemented using a group of interfaces and this is for example commonly used for Communication Class devices. Add support for multi-interface functions to USB serial core and export an interface that allows drivers to claim a second sibling interface. The interface could easily be extended to allow claiming further interfaces if ever needed. When a driver claims a sibling interface in probe(), core allocates resources for any bulk in, bulk out, interrupt in and interrupt out endpoints found also on the sibling interface. Disconnect is implemented so that unbinding either interface will release the other interface while disconnect() is called precisely once. Similarly, suspend() is called when the first sibling interface is suspended and resume() is called when the last sibling interface is resumed by USB core.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
