If you deauthorize the r8152 device (by writing 0 to the "authorized"
field in sysfs) and then reauthorize it (by writing a 1) then it no
longer works. This is because when you do the above we lose the
special configuration that we set in rtl8152_cfgselector_probe().
Deauthorizing causes the config to be set to -1 and then reauthorizing
runs the default logic for choosing the best config.
I made an attempt to fix it so that the config is kept across
deauthorizing / reauthorizing [1] but it was a bit ugly.
Let's instead use the new USB core feature to override
choose_configuration().
This patch relies upon the patches ("usb: core: Don't force USB
generic_subclass drivers to define probe()") and ("usb: core: Allow
subclassed USB drivers to override usb_choose_configuration()")

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.
