From: Alan Stern Removing an interface's sysfs files before unregistering the interface doesn't work properly, because usb_unbind_interface() will reinstall altsetting 0 and thereby create new sysfs files. This patch (as1074) removes the files after the unregistration is finished. It's not quite as clean, but at least it works. Also, there's no need to check if an interface has been registered before removing its sysfs files. If it hasn't been registered then the files won't have been created, so usb_remove_sysfs_intf_files() will simply do nothing.
