NAME
       usb_disconnect - disconnect a device (usbcore-internal)


SYNOPSIS
       void usb_disconnect  (struct usb_device ** pdev);


ARGUMENTS
       pdev   pointer to device being disconnected


CONTEXT
       !in_interrupt ()


DESCRIPTION
       Something got disconnected. Get rid of it and all of its children.

       If *pdev is a normal device then the parent hub must already be locked.
       If  *pdev  is  a  root  hub  then  this  routine   will   acquire   the
       usb_bus_list_lock on behalf of the caller.

       Only   hub  drivers  (including  virtual  root  hub  drivers  for  host
       controllers) should ever call this.

       This call is synchronous, and may not be used in an interrupt  context.
