So, something like that, on top of the existing patches? (I'm not sure
whether device_driver_attach is the correct call to use here).

-       if (udriver->probe)
-               return udriver->probe(udev);
-       return 0;
+       if (!udriver->probe)
+               return 0;
+       error = udriver->probe(udev);
+       if (error == -ENODEV &&
+           udrv != &usb_generic_driver)
+               return device_driver_attach(usb_generic_driver.drvwrap.driver, dev);
+       return error;

Anything else in this patch series? I was concerned about the naming
for "generic_init" in patch 2 ("subclass").

If there's nothing, I'll test and respin the patchset with the above
changes tomorrow.
