Sebastian Andrzej Siewior c898add51c usb/uas: only bind if the hcd supports SG
The UAS driver requires SG support by the HCD operating the device. This
patch stops UAS from operating on a HCD without sg support and prints a
message to let him know.

The spec says:
|For [USB2] backward compatibility, the device shall present [BOT] as
|alternate interface zero (primary) and [UAS] as alternate interface one
|(secondary). A device which does not need backward compatibility with
|[BOT] shall present [UAS] as alternate interface zero. In [USB2]
|systems, the [BOT] driver or an associated filter driver may need to
|issue a SET INTERFACE request for alternate interface one and then allow
|the [UAS] driver to load.

If the user used usb_modeswitch to switch to UAS then he can go back to
BOT or use a different HCD. In case UAS is the only interface then there
is currently no way out.
In future usb_sg_wait() should be extended to provide a non-blocking
interface so it can work with the UAS driver.

To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:

    * This source code.  This is necessarily an evolving work, and
      includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
      ("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
      "gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.)  Also, Documentation/usb has
      more information.

    * The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
      such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
      The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
      peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".

    * Chip specifications for USB controllers.  Examples include
      host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
      controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
      cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.

    * Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
      functions.  Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
      but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.

Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.

core/		- This is for the core USB host code, including the
		  usbfs files and the hub class driver ("khubd").

host/		- This is for USB host controller drivers.  This
		  includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
		  be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.

gadget/		- This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
		  the various gadget drivers which talk to them.


Individual USB driver directories.  A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.

image/		- This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
		  digital cameras.
../input/	- This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
		  like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/	- This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
		  radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
		  subsystem.
../net/		- This is for network drivers.
serial/		- This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/	- This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories, and work for a range
		  of USB Class specified devices. 
misc/		- This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
		  into any of the above categories.
