Ole Andre Vadla Ravnas ad55d71a3d rndis_host learns ActiveSync basics
Windows Mobile 5 based devices described as supporting "ActiveSync":

 - Speak RNDIS but lack the CDC and union descriptors.  This patch
   updates the cdc ethernet code to fake ACM descriptors we need.

 - Require RNDIS_MSG_QUERY messages to include a buffer of the size the
   response should generate.  This patch updates the rndis host code to
   pass this will-be-ignored data.

The resulting RNDIS host code has been reported to work with several
WM5 based devices.

(Note that a fancier patch is available at synce.sf.net.)


Some bugfixes, affecting not just ActiveSync:
    (a)	when cleaning up after RNDS init fails, scrub the second interface
	just like cdc_ether does, so disconnect won't oops.
    (b)	handle peripherals that use the pad-to-end-of-packet option; some
	devices can't talk to us if that option doesn't work.
    (c)	when choosing configurations, don't forget about an RNDIS config
	just because the RNDIS driver is dynamically linked.

Cleanup, streamlining, bugfixes, Kconfig, and matching hub driver update.
Also for paranoia's sake, refuse to talk to something that looks like a
real modem instead of RNDIS.

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.
