-Description:
-               This allows to authorize (1) or deauthorize (0)
-               individual interfaces instead a whole device
-               in contrast to the device authorization.
-               If a deauthorized interface will be authorized
-               so the driver probing must be triggered manually
-               by writing INTERFACE to /sys/bus/usb/drivers_probe
-               This allows to avoid side-effects with drivers
-               that need multiple interfaces.
-               A deauthorized interface cannot be probed or claimed.

-Interface authorization
------------------------
-There is a similar approach to allow or deny specific USB interfaces.
-That allows to block only a subset of an USB device.
-
-Authorize an interface:
-$ echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/INTERFACE/authorized
-
-Deauthorize an interface:
-$ echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/INTERFACE/authorized
-
-The default value for new interfaces
-on a particular USB bus can be changed, too.
-
-Allow interfaces per default:
-$ echo 1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usbX/interface_authorized_default
-
-Deny interfaces per default:
-$ echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usbX/interface_authorized_default
-
-Per default the interface_authorized_default bit is 1.
-So all interfaces would authorized per default.
-
-Note:
-If a deauthorized interface will be authorized so the driver probing must
-be triggered manually by writing INTERFACE to /sys/bus/usb/drivers_probe
-
-For drivers that need multiple interfaces all needed interfaces should be
-authroized first. After that the drivers should be probed.
-This avoids side effects.
