[PATCH] USB: allow usb drivers to disable dynamic ids
This lets drivers, like the usb-serial ones, disable the ability to add
ids from sysfs.
The usb-serial drivers are "odd" in that they are really usb-serial bus
drivers, not usb bus drivers, so the dynamic id logic will have to go
into the usb-serial bus core for those drivers to get that ability.
