This reverts commit 200e0d99 ("USB: storage: optimize to match the
Huawei USB storage devices and support new switch command" and the
followup bugfix commit cd060956 ("USB: storage: properly handle
the endian issues of idProduct").
The commit effectively added a large number of Huawei devices to
the deprecated usb-storage mode switching logic. Many of these
devices have been in use and supported by the userspace
usb_modeswitch utility for years. Forcing the switching inside
the kernel causes a number of regressions as a result of ignoring
existing onfigurations, and also completely takes away the ability
to configure mode switching per device/system/user.
Known regressions caused by this:
- Some of the devices support multiple modes, using different
switching commands. There are existing configurations taking
advantage of this.
- There is a real use case for disabling mode switching and
instead mounting the exposed storage device. This becomes
impossible with switching logic inside the usb-storage driver.
- At least on device fail as a result of the usb-storage switching
command, becoming completely unswitchable. This is possibly a
firmware bug, but still a regression because the device work as
expected using usb_modeswitch defaults.
In-kernel mode switching was deprecated years ago with the
development of the more user friendly userspace alternatives. The
existing list of devices in usb-storage was only kept to prevent
breaking already working systems. The long term plan is to remove
the list, not to add to it. Ref:

1. Optimize the match rules with new macro for Huawei USB storage devices,
to avoid to load USB storage driver for the modem interface
with Huawei devices.
2. Add to support new switch command for new Huawei USB dongles.

This changeset from Keith Bennett (via Bob Copeland) moves the Karma
initializer to its own file and adds trapping of the START_STOP command to
enable eject of the device.

This patch from Bob Copeland adds support for the Rio Karma portable
digital audio player to the usb-storage driver. The only thing needed to
support this device is a one-time (per plugin) init command which is sent
to the device.

This is the first of three patches to prepare the sddr09 subdriver for
conversion to the Sim-SCSI framework. This patch (as594) straightens
out the initialization procedures and headers:
Some ugly code from usb.c was moved into sddr09.c.
Set-up of the private data structures was moved into the
initialization routine.
The connection between the "dpcm" version and the standalone
version was clarified.
A private declaration was moved from a header file into the
subdriver's .c file.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
